HC Deb 22 March 1950 vol 472 c121W
Mr. J. Grimston

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power what was the average weight of coal needed to produce one Kilovolt-ampere by the British European Airways Corporation during any convenient recent period.

Mr. P. Noel-Baker

During 1948–49 the power stations of the British Electricity Authority, to which I must presume the hon. Member refers, consumed on the average 1.478 lbs. of coal per unit (Kilowatt hour) sent out.
