HC Deb 15 June 1976 vol 913 c88W
Mr. Ralph Howell

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what is the average gross income of underground miners at the latest date available.

Mr. Harold Walker

I assume the hon. Member is asking for information relating to earnings of underground coal miners. The latest available published information is contained in the 1975 New Earnings Survey and relates to April 1975. I am asking the Chairman of the National Coal Board to write direct to the hon. Member to provide more up-to-date information.
