Mr. Allen McKay

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what information he has on which collieries have closed in each area of the National Coal Board each year since 1979; and what collieries he has been informed are scheduled for closure in the next five years.

Mr. David Hunt

Details of closures since 1979 are shown in the table. Questions of the future of individual pits are matters for the management of the National Coal Board.
