BRITISH COAL AND BOYD'S REPORT

EDM number 1642 in 1992-93, proposed by Derek Enright on 18/03/1993.

That this House notes the statement of the President of the Board of Trade in the Official Report, column 269, on 17th March, that it was not appropriate to comment on the Boyd's Report during the consultative period; is, therefore, all the more appalled that British Coal on 15th March rejected out of hand the maintenance of any of the ten pits before a whisper of consultation had taken place; and calls upon the President to sack the Board of British Coal without delay.

This motion has been signed by a total of 64 MPs.
