Well, the numbers are a close call, but the period of the largest number of closures was probably during the Labour government of Wilson 1964-1970. This decision is approximate, as it was compiled from a number of sources and may contain some flaws. As for a total figure for each party, I am afraid I cannot say.

It is also worth noting that the period 1944-1947 were the times when most coal mines were closed in the last century (most of this of course under Atlee's labour government), but this is not in the stated in the question.
