HC Deb 13 March 1972 vol 833 c4W
42. Mr. Edwin Wainwright

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will make a statement on the latest discussions he has had with his Energy Advisory Council on the future of the mining industry.

Sir J. Eden

The council has not met since 1969 and I do not propose to revive it. Discussions on energy questions are best conducted directly with the parties involved in each case.
