HC Deb 25 June 1973 vol 858 c285W
Mr. Sillars

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what steps the Scottish Office is taking to improve the economy of the Girvan area following the closure of Maxwell Colliery at Dailly.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

No decision about the future of Maxwell Colliery has yet been taken but I understand the matter will shortly be discussed between representatives of the National Coal Board and the union officials concerned. I shall keep the developing situation under close review with my right hon. Friends the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry and the Secretary of State for Employment.
