HC Deb 26 May 1978 vol 950 c793W
Mr. Tim Smith

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what loans have been made to the North and South Nottinghamshire areas of the National Coal Board by the European Coal and Steel Community.

Mr. Eadie

To date the National Coal Board has received £283.1 million in loans from the European Coal and Steel Community. It is not possible to show the breakdown of these loans by areas because they cover groups of projects in various coalfields. However, the following pits in North and South Nottinghamshire have benefited from this money:

North Nottinghamshire

  • Bevercotes
  • Bilsthorpe
  • Creswell
  • Harworth
  • Mansfield
  • Ollerton (2 projects)
  • Silverhill
  • Thoresby (2 projects)

South Nottinghamshire

  • Bentinck
  • Gedling
  • Hucknall
  • Linby
  • Newstead.
