HC Deb 07 December 1978 vol 959 c740W
Mr. Sillars

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what suggestions he has made to the National Coal Board for improving procedures for informing men of their rights when under threat of redundancy due to pit closures.

Mr. Benn

Detailed procedure is a matter for the NCB in consultation with the NUM. If my hon. Friend has any specific point in mind, I should be glad to draw it to the chairman's attention.
