Scope and content

Asks whether research could be carried out into possible uses, commercial or otherwise, for coal waste dumps. It could have environmental benefits and would help avoid a repeat "of the recent tragedy" [a reference to the Aberfan disaster]. Mrs Champion herself made briguettes out of coal dust during the war. She suggests criminals be used as labour.
