HC Deb 12 April 1994 vol 241 c106W
Mr. Mullin

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what representations he has received from the National Rivers Authority regarding the Coal Industry Bill; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Eggar

My Department has received no representations from the National Rivers Authority on the Coal Industry Bill. The NRA has, however, provided comments in the context of the consultation exercise on the Coal Authority explanatory note and draft model licensing and leasing documents.
