HC Deb 18 May 1973 vol 856 c407W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what percentage of total coal production is drawn from shafts under the sea; and what percentage of total coal reserves are located under the Continental Shelf.

Mr. Emery

The National Coal Board advises me that about 10 per cent. of deep-mined coal is from collieries which have undersea workings, and that about 13 per cent. of classified reserves are under the Continental Shelf.
