HC Deb 06 April 1960 vol 621 c54W
Mr. Owen

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs what response he has received in answer to Circular No. 26/59, relating to colliery spoil heaps, from local authorities in the county of Northumberland; what assistance he proposes to offer local authorities to deal with the problem; and whether he will make a statement.

Sir K. Joseph

My right hon. Friend has not so far had any response from Northumberland, but he will soon be asking all local authorities for a progress report.
