§ 14. Sir G. Foxasked the Minister of Fuel and Power what quantity of coal is being exported to Ireland at the present time; and how this compares with prewar figures.
§ Mr. GaitskellThe total quantity of coal exported from this country to Eire during the year 1945 was 923,000 tons, as compared with 2,477,000 tons in 1938. The bulk of the coal now being sent to Eire is of low quality.
