HC Deb 18 November 1977 vol 939 cc371-2W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if we will give an assur- ance that his investment plans for the coal mining industry are not affected by the result of the recent miners' ballot against the proposed productivity agreement.

Mr. Eadie

Yes. The Government's re-endorsement of "Plan for Coal", stated in February this year in "Coal for the Future", holds good.
