HC Deb 08 March 1966 vol 725 c472W
Mr. Rankin

asked the First Secretary of State and Secretary of State for Economic Affairs, in view of the effects of a 16s. rise per ton in the price of coal on the Scottish economy, if he will refer the matter to the National Board for Prices and Incomes.

Mr. William Rodgers

The case for increases in coal prices by the National Coal Board, designed to yield revenue of £80 million in 1966–67, has already been investigated by the National Board for Prices and Incomes.
