HC Deb 08 March 1949 vol 462 c112W
Mr. Bossom

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether he will give an assurance that coal which was exported last year was clean.

Mr. Robens

Not all coal for export needs to be cleaned or screened. In conformity with the terms of contracts with foreign purchasers, considerable tonnages of uncleaned coals were exported in 1948.
