HC Deb 11 December 1992 vol 215 c832W
Mr. Clapham

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what are the reasons for the transfer of mining records from the keeping of the British geological survey to his Department; and what arrangements are being made to make them available to the public.

Mr. Eggar

I have no plans to transfer any mining records from the keeping of the British geological survey to my Department. British Coal is under a statutory obligation to make available plans of coal workings in its possession.
