§ 14. Colonel Ropnerasked the Minister of Fuel and Power to what extent there is any immediate prospect of a reduction in the price of coke.
§ Mr. P. Noel-BakerAs I am sure the hon. and gallant Member is aware, the price of coke depends chiefly on the cost of the coal from which it is produced. Until the price of the coal can be reduced, therefore, I am afraid that no substantial reduction of the price of coke is likely to occur.
