Tower Colliery (No. 3) (EDM1015)

Tower Colliery (No. 3)

EDM number 1015 in 1993-94, proposed by Ann Clwyd on 13/04/1994.

That this House condemns British Coal's announcement that Tower Colliery, the last pit in South Wales and one of the 19 core pits designated in the Government White Paper last year, is to close; recognises that the total loss of 400 jobs in Cynon Valley, where one in five men are already unemployed, will result in a further Ãº10 million being lost to the local economy; notes that Tower has made a profit of Ãº28 million in the last three years and had a productivity rate of twice the national average in 1992; salutes the miners for voting to put Tower into the modified colliery review procedure, thereby rejecting a Ãº9,000-a-man sweetener from British Coal in the process; and calls on British Coal to accept that decision in good grace and refrain from putting further pressure on individual miners to ignore it.

This motion has been signed by a total of 139 MPs.
