HC Deb 20 June 1967 vol 748 cc226-7W
79. Sir C. Osborne

asked the Minister of Power if he will make a statement on his meeting with the parliamentary group of miner Members of Parliament; what assurances he gave them that no pit closures would take place until the National Union of Mineworkers had been consulted; and to what extent he will take into account their views in implementing Government policy in this matter.

Mr. Marsh

I have not recently met the parliamentary group of miner Members. Individual closures are in any case a matter for the National Coal Board who keep the N.U.M. fully informed.
