HC Deb 22 October 1986 vol 102 c922W
19. Mr. O'Neill

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland when he last met the Scottish director of British Coal to discuss electricity generation in Scotland.

Mr. Lang

My right hon. and learned Friend has not met the Scottish director of British Coal to discuss this matter. The requirement for coal for electricity generation in Scotland is a matter for commercial negotiation between the Scottish electricity boards and British Coal.
