HC Deb 06 December 1967 vol 755 cc340-1W
110. Mr. W. Baxter

asked the Minister of Power how many pits and mines have been closed in West Stirlingshire and part of Dunbartonshire, that is Dullatur, Twechar and Gracehill, adjacent to Kilsyth, over the last eight years; and how many miners and personnel are involved.

Mr. Freeson

Seven collieries have been closed since December, 1959. These together with the closure of part of Manor Powis colliery have affected some 2,200 men, of whom less than 100 were made redundant.
