HC Deb 05 April 1976 vol 909 cc51-2W
Mr. George Grant

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what proportion wages and salaries form against total production costs in the British coal mining industry at the latest available date; and what are the figures for other EEC countries.

Mr. Eadie

The first part of the Question is a matter for the National Coal Board and I have asked the Chairman to write to the hon. Member as soon as possible. I regret that comparable information is not available for other EEC countries.
