HC Deb 13 December 1976 vol 922 c487W
Mr. Sillars

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if he intends to apply to the available European funds for special aid to be given to the Girvan/Dailly area in view of the problems being experienced by Dalquharran colliery.

Mr. Eadie

The National Coal Board has not approached my right hon. Friend nor, so far as I am aware, has any announcement been made about Dalquharran colliery. I have separately given details of European funds which may be available should any need arise.
