HC Deb 21 June 1966 vol 730 c28W
43. Mr. Grant-Ferris

asked the Minister of Power what sanctions he has given for mining operations in the Armitage and Rugeley area of the Trent and Mersey Canal.

Dr. Bray

My right hon. Friend has not been asked to authorise opencast mining of coal in this area. Other mining operations do not require my sanction.
