Miliband: Keep worker-owned colliery open
Ex-Labour leader pushes for action to save pit
ED MILIBAND threw his weight yesterday behind efforts to ensure worker-owned Hatfield colliery remains open for at least another year.
Mr Miliband raised the future of the pit in the Commons during energy questions.
It was the first question he’s asked in Parliament since standing down as Labour leader in the wake of the party’s general election defeat.
