00:04People living in former mining communities across South Wales deserve greater reassurance
00:09on what the Government are going to do about these coal tips. Can the Government explain
00:15what exactly they are going to do to make these tips safe, particularly when it comes
00:19to the live monitoring of any movement and early warning systems?
00:26I thank the hon. Gentleman for his question. There is a programme of improving maintenance
00:32of coal tips that is under way through the Welsh Government. As I said earlier, this
00:36is the first Government to allocate funding to tackle that risk and the very serious implications
00:43that it has for people and communities living in affected areas.
