HC Deb 11 August 1919 vol 119 c917W
Major PRESCOTT

asked the President of the Board of Trade on what grounds the Coal Controller has authorised the maximum retail price of coke to be increased to 6s. per ton in addition to coal?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

The maximum retail price of coke was increased by 6s. per ton because of the price of the coal from which the coke is produced having been increased.
