HC Deb 12 May 1949 vol 464 cc130-1W
85. Mr. Alpass

asked the Minister of Labour if, in view of the threatened closure of the Coalpit Heath Colliery, Gloucestershire, he will take immediate steps to provide alternative employment for the workers who will be displaced.

Mr. Ness Edwards

If this colliery should be closed, the employment exchange service will be available to any redundant workers whom the National Coal Board cannot employ in other collieries.
