§ Mr. TippingTo ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will list which collieries he has visited and those where he has made an underground visit(a) since taking his present office and (b) since the publication of "Prospects for Coal".
§ Mr. EggarMy right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade has not visited any collieries since taking up his present office. However, as Minister for Energy, I have visited Ollerton, Rufford, Whitemoor, Ashfordby and Bilsthorpe. The visits to Ashfordby and Bilsthorpe took place after the publication of the coal review White Paper and all except Bilsthorpe included a visit underground.
