HC Deb 13 January 1993 vol 216 cc739-44W
Mr. Hague

To ask the President of the Board of Trade how many pieces of evidence have been submitted to his Department's coal review; and what plans he has to make the evidence public.

Mr. Eggar

Evidence submitted by 327 individuals and organisations had been received by the coal review team by noon on Friday 8 January. Evidence has been copied to the Trade and Industry Select Committee as we have received it and copies have been placed in the Libraries of both Houses. In cases where those submitting evidence have provided it in confidence, we have sought their permission to pass it to the Select Committee, and where such permission has been given, have done so on a protected basis.

We have also now made the evidence, other than commercially confidential material, more widely available by placing copies in the following libraries where members of the public may call, by appointment, to read it: DTI library and information centre, Ashdown house, 123 Victoria street, London SW1E 6RB, telephone 071 215 4245/4250; DTI energy library and information centre, 1 Palace street, London SW1E 5HE, telephone 071 238 3042; Office of Electricity Regulation library, Hagley house, Hagley road, Birmingham B16 8QG, telephone 021 456 6378.

In addition, copies of individual pieces of evidence, other than confidential evidence, may be ordered from the library at 1 Palace street. A charge will be made to cover the cost of this service.

The full list of those submitting evidence is as follows, with an asterisk indicating those who have asked that their evidence be treated as confidential.
