HC Deb 08 December 1975 vol 902 c58W
Mr. Grimond

asked the Secretary of State for Energy whether any changes have had to be made in the plans for exploiting the new Yorkshire coalfield du,- to fears of subsidence on the railway; and, if so, what alterations these make necessary in the estimates of the field's yield.

Mr. Eadie

No, but it may be desirable to reroute the East Coast main line railway and this is now under study by British Rail, the National Coal Board, the Department of the Environment, and my Department.
