§ Mr. CummingsTo ask the President of the Board of Trade what response he has made to the findings by the Closkey Coal Information Services contained in the Easington district council submission entitled "The Case for Easington and Vane Tempest Collieries"; and if he will commission an environmental impact report.
§ Mr. EggarWe are taking Easington district council's submission into account in the coal review, and hope to publish a White Paper setting out our findings as early as possible next month. The commissioning of an environmental impact report would be an operational matter for British Coal.
