57. Mr. Win Griffiths

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy what proposals he has to speed up the exploitation of the Margam coal reserves; and if he will make a statement.

The timing and priority of major projects such as Margam is a matter for British Coal in the light of the overall capital allocation available to it and the commercial objectives agreed with the Government.
