HC Deb 10 December 1973 vol 866 c14W
Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will list the names of companies currently exploring for minerals in the Duchy of Cornwall and in the Duchy of Lancaster, respectively.

Mr. Anthony Grant

Three companies are exploring on licences from the Duchy of Cornwall; none is licensed by the Duchy of Lancaster. It is not the practice to divulge the names of companies to which licences are isued.
