HC Deb 10 November 1989 vol 159 cc825-6W
Mr. Ashton

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy if he will list for each year from 1980 to 1988, inclusive, the annual figure for consumption of coal at(a) Cottam, (b) High Marnham and (c) West Burton power stations in Nottinghamshire; how many tons of this coal was supplied from Harworth colliery, Bevercoats colliery, Shireoaks-Steetley colliery and Manton colliery in Nottinghamshire; and how much from other United Kingdom collieries or imports.

Mr. Michael Spicer

Arrangements for the delivery of coal from individual collieries to power stations are a matter for the day-to-day management of the Central Electricity Generating Board and British Coal. I am asking the chairmen to write to the hon. Member.
