Is the hon. Gentleman aware that for the past five years I have had the same Answer every time I have asked similar Questions? Is this due to failure on my part or heresy on the part of the Government? Is the hon. Gentleman aware that yesterday the Minister told me that at Wingate, a few miles from Peterlee, in the adjoining district a pit which employs a large number of men will be closed down in a few months? What is to be done about that?
