§ Mr. John MorrisTo ask the Secretary of State for Energy when he now anticipates that a start will be made on the Margam pit.
§ Mr. Michael SpicerThe timing and priority of major projects is a matter for British coal, which keeps its capital expenditure programme under regular review. In the case of Margam, the timing will depend on the successful conclusion of a detailed agreement on six-day working and an up-to-date assessment of the project's commercial prospects.
