P115 CEEFAX 115 Fri 12 Nov 16:11/12 HOME BC RECOMMENDS COLLIERY CLOSURE British Coal has recommended the closure of Frickley colliery in south Yorkshire with the loss of 740 miners' jobs. BC said production at the colliery near Pontefract would stop on 26 November and miners would be offered redundancy payments of up to £37,000 each. It said it had announced the move because of reduced demand for coal. BC northern director Alan Houghton said he had "no alternative" but to recommend closure. Next News Diary Summaries Travel
