HC Deb 02 August 1966 vol 733 cc55-6W
Mr. Symonds

asked the Minister of Power if, in view of the Government's policy of regional development, he will give a general direction to the National Coal Board to cease sending recruiting vans into the West Cumberland coal area to recruit men for the Midlands when these men are required for their own area.

Dr. Bray

No. The National Coal Board's policy of encouraging the movement of trained miners to the profitable coalfields has my support.
