§ 80. Mr. Prydeasked the Minister of Fuel and Power if he is aware of the financial loss incurred by farmers in Midlothian by reason of opencast coal workings; and if he will introduce legislation to remedy this grievance.
§ Mr. Joynson-HicksI have no evidence that the present arrangements for the payment of compensation for land requisitioned for opencast coal production cause hardship such as would justify new legislation.
