HC Deb 17 November 1964 vol 702 c38W
69. Mr. Lagden

asked the Minister of Power if he will make a statement on the adequacy of coal stocks to last a severe winter; and how many miners are at present working Saturday shifts.

Mr. John Morris

Stocks of most coals, including house coals, are generally good and supplies should be adequate even in a cold winter; but I understand that Saturday working is being considered by both sides of the industry as an added insurance against prolonged severe weather.
