§ 22. Mr. Hardyasked the Secretary of State for Energy if he will seek to pay an official visit to Cortonwood colliery.
§ Mr. Peter WalkerI have at present no plans to do so, but as my hon. Friend the Under-Secretary of State told the House on 28 March, the NCB are prepared to reconvene the colliery review meeting before any further steps on the closure of Cortonwood are taken. The NUM has not agreed to participate in such a meeting, however.
