HC Deb 03 March 1955 vol 537 c306W
73. Mr. Bartley

asked the Minister of Agriculture if he will arrange to visit Durham County to see areas in which agricultural land and buildings have been damaged by coal-mining subsidence with a view to the implementation of the Turner Committee's recommendations in regard to agricultural land.

Mr. Nugent

Full information of this difficult problem is already available in my Department, and I do not think that a special visit would add to it. The implementing of the Turner Committee's recommendations is a matter for my right hon. Friend the Minister of Fuel and Power.
