§ 84. Mr. Matthewsasked the Minister of Power when it is expected that the opencast coal mining operations at Poles-worth, and other sites in North Warwickshire, will be finally cleared and restored to agricultural use.
§ Mr. GeorgeAs far as can be foreseen, coaling and backfilling at the Poles-worth site should finish late in 1964. After that there will be normal agricultural treatment.
Three other National Coal Board sites in the area are undergoing, or will shortly be ready for, agricultural treatment. Five other sites which have been restored will be derequisitioned this year.
