HC Deb 16 November 1933 vol 281 cc1116-7
102. Mr. ROBINSON

asked the Secretary for Mines what progress has been made in the discussions between producers of coke in the United Kingdom and the Finnish coke importers?

The SECRETARY for MINES (Mr. Ernest Brown)

A British coke trade delegation visited Finland last month and discussed with the coke importers the measures that are necessary to maintain and increase our share in the Finnish coke market as provided in the Protocol to the Anglo-Finnish Agreement. I am glad to be able to inform my hon. Friend that those discussions were satisfactory to both sides and that no serious difficulty now stands in the way of securing the desired increase.
