asked Her Majesty's Government:

How many pits have been closed, how many working days have been lost, how many miners and administrative staff have been dismissed, since the appointment of Mr. MacGregor as chairman of the National Coal Board; and

How many British pits are scheduled for closure, how many miners and how many administrative staff respectively will be made redundant, and how many senior staff at Hobart House will also be made redundant, as a consequence of the closures.
