HC Deb 08 May 1989 vol 152 c294W
Dr. Kim Howells

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will order an immediate halt to any blasting operations at the Hendy and Miskin quarries in Taff Ely which are found to he endangering the health and property of local residents.

Mr. Nicholls

My right hon. Friend has no such intentions. Any decision to halt blasting at the Hendy and Miskin quarries would be the responsibility of the Health and Safety Executive's mines and quarries inspectorate which is keeping the situation under review.
