§ 84. Mr. George Jegerasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he will initiate discussions with 59W the local authorities and the National Coal Board to give immediate attention to the slag heaps in Yorkshire which are unsightly and potentially dangerous.
§ Mr. MacCollSince the Aberfan disaster the National Coal Board has inspected all disused and active tips in its ownership and is satisfied that there is no risk of damage to life or property. My right hon. Friend has asked local authorities in England to inspect all spoil heaps not in the ownership of the Board which for any reason appear to be unstable and a danger to the public.
