Mr. Simon Hughes

To ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will make representations at the forthcoming EC Energy Council concerning subsidies to the German coal industry; whether he will consult at the Energy Council with other EC nations concerning the proposed pit closure programme; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Eggar

I expect there to be a discussion at the next meeting of the Energy Council on 30 of this month of the coal industry throughout the Community.
