HC Deb 29 February 1968 vol 759 c419W
Mr. Swain

asked the Minister of Power, what expenditure has so far been incurred under Section 5 of the Coal Industry Act, 1967 as a result of deferred colliery closures; and what is the estimated expenditure during the current year.

Mr. Marsh:

No payments have yet been made. The full amount of the losses incurred will not be ascertained until the collieries are closed and the accounts are made up.
