HC Deb 19 October 1954 vol 531 c153W
78. Mr. Swingler

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will make a statement on his discussions with the representatives of local authority associations on the problems arising from mining subsidence; and what action he will now take to help those authorities affected.

Mr. Sandys

Following my predecessor's meeting with representatives of the associations of local authorities, he arranged with my right hon. Friend the Minister of Fuel and Power for these problems to be examined jointly by the two Departments concerned and the National Coal Board as quickly as possible. This examination is now going on.
