HC Deb 10 June 1952 vol 502 cc22-3W
Mr. Robson Brown

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power what gross tonnage of coal he expects to export to overseas markets during 1952.

Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd

On 24th March last, in reply to a Question by my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Ayr (Sir T. Moore) I announced the Government's decision to increase coal exports this year by 2 milion tons as compared with 1951. I am glad to announce that the Government now propose to make a further increase of 1½ million tons.
