HC Deb 27 November 1947 vol 444 cc2105-6
13. Colonel Ropner

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether, in view of the fact that the coal output for the year will probably fall short of the Coal Board's target by three or four million tons, he will say what figure he now expects to be reached.

Mr. Gaitskell

For the 52 weeks ending 27th December, 196 million tons, for the 53 weeks ending 3rd January, 199 million tons.
