HC Deb 09 December 1985 vol 88 c447W
Mr. Coleman

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how frequently he meets the chairman of the National Coal Board to discuss the board's capital investment programme in Wales; and when the next such meeting is expected to take place.

Mr. Nicholas Edwards

I meet the chairman of the National Coal Board whenever the need arises to discuss matters relevant to the Welsh coalfields. The last occasion was on 14 November. The date for a further meeting has not yet been fixed.
