HC Deb 27 June 1967 vol 749 c56W
Mr. G. Elfed Davies

asked the Minister of Power whether he will now arrange for all the social costs arising from the contraction of the coal industry, to be met out of the £30 million provided in the Coal Industry Act, 1965, instead of requiring the National Coal Board to carry the greater part of these costs.

Mr. Marsh

This is one of the most important questions which I have under consideration at the moment. I shall hope to be able to say something about it to the House in the near future.
