HC Deb 09 November 1984 vol 67 c45W
Mr. Peter Bruinvels

asked the Secretary of State for Energy how much coal has been produced in National Coal Board pits since the National Union of Mineworkers' dispute began.

Mr. David Hunt

I understand from the NCB that since the beginning of the NUM overtime ban, deep-mined production from NCB collieries has been 40,987,000 tonnes to the end of August 1984.
