HC Deb 17 June 1969 vol 785 c66W
43. Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

asked the Minister of Power if he will issue a general direction to the National Coal Board that it shall not take steps to secure possession of houses occupied by former miners and their families who have left the mining industry by reason of its run-down in any case where there is no definite requirement for possession of the house for a miner to be employed in the industry.

Mr. Freeson

This is already the board's policy.
