§ 19. Mr. WigleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what information he has as to how many of those coal miners employed in the south Wales coalfield up to and including 1981 are still receiving pensions from their employers.
§ Mr. Peter WalkerBritish Coal does not have information in the form requested. It believes, however, that the majority of the 134,000 or so persons who left the south Wales coal industry between 1961 and 1981 will either be receiving pensions now or are entitled to payment in the future.
