HC Deb 24 October 1978 vol 955 cc770-1W
Mrs. Winifred Ewing

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if, in the light of the fact that stocks of domestic coal are running low, particularly in the North of Scotland, he will take steps to ensure increased production from Scottish pits to alleviate the risk of hardship during the winter.

Mr. Eadie

This is a matter for the National Coal Board and I am asking the Chairman to write to the hon. Member.
