HC Deb 25 October 1966 vol 734 c148W
55. Mr. Kelley

asked the Minister of Power how many remotely-operated long-wall faces were in production on the latest convenient date for which such information is available; and what was the average weekly tonnage being produced on these faces at that time.

Dr. Bray

Two coal faces making partial use of these techniques are at present in operation. Average weekly outputs have recently been 2,200 tons and 4,500 tons of saleable coal respectively.
