HC Deb 12 April 1972 vol 834 c185W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will give the date when the National Coal Board expects, with his authority, to put up for sale, or invite public participation in, the brick-making facilities and provide a detailed list of the board's works and of the capacity of the separate plants.

Mr. Emery

The board does not need my right hon. Friend's authority for any such transaction. As the remainder of the question is a matter for the board, I have asked the chairman to let my hon. Friend have the details for which he asks.
