§ Mr. Heddleasked the Secretary of State for Energy whether he has yet received the report of the committee of inquiry into coal mining subsidence under the chairmanship of Mr. Lewis Waddilove, C.B.E., J.P.; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Giles ShawI have not yet received the report. I understand that the committee has had to consider a large volume of evidence which has prolonged its work.
However preparation of the report is now well in hand and I expect to receive it shortly.
