HC Deb 14 December 1966 vol 738 c124W
Mr. Eadie

asked the Minister of Power how many coal miners are known to have left Scotland in each of the years 1956 to 1965, and 1966 to date.

Dr. Bray

The N.C.B. can only provide details of miners transferring under the Inter Divisional Transfer Scheme introduced in 1962 and the Long Distance Re-entrants Scheme introduced in 1964. These are set out in the table below. The Board have no records of Scottish miners who have left Scotland for non-mining work or who have transferred under their own arrangements to coal-mining in other parts of Britain.
