HC Deb 24 November 1980 vol 994 cc15-6W
Mr. Gwilym Roberts

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what are the volumes of coal stocks held by the National Coal Board and the Central Electricity Generating Board; and how this compares with the position 12 months ago.

Mr. John Moore

Information on coal stocks is contained in my Department's monthly statistical bulletin "Energy Trends", copies of which are available in the Library of the House. For convenience, the latest figures are as follows:

Coal Stocks in Great Britain (m Tonnes)
8 November 1980 10 November 1979

Power Stations 19.4 17.7
