§ Mrs. GoldingTo ask the President of the Board of Trade what steps are being taken to extend the term of the existing redundancy agreement for miners following the High Court judgment preventing the immediate closure of pits; and whether he will make a statement.
§ Mr. EggarNone. British Coal's redundancy terms are a matter for British Coal. It would, however, seem reasonable for the corporation not to determine its redundancy arrangements from 1 April 1993 until at least the outcome of the coal review is known.
