16. Major Anstruther-Gray

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether any decision has yet been reached with regard to the opencast working of coal in East Lothian.

Mr. Snadden

The proposal to authorise opencast working on the sites known as East Banks and West Mains, of which my hon. and gallant Friend is aware, is not to be pursued.
