§ 60. Air-Commodore Harveyasked the Minister of Fuel and Power if he is aware of the poor quality of coal delivered in Macclesfield recently; and what steps are being taken to ensure an improvement in the quality of future supplies.
§ Mr. RobensThe need to export as much high-class coal as possible inevitably influences the quality available for the home market, but I am not aware of any special complaints recently in Macclesfield. With regard to steps being taken to improve quality of future supplies, I would refer the hon. Member to paragraphs 272–277 of the Annual Report of the National Coal Board for 1947.
