HC Deb 26 January 1959 vol 598 c69W
34. Sir W. Anstruther-Gray

asked the Paymaster-General to what extent he estimates that increased demand for coal consequent on electricity expansion will provide work for collieries threatened by closure.

Sir I. Horobin

Not at all. The increased demand for coal consequent on electricity expansion will provide extra work for miners but at other pits.
