§ Sir T. Mooreasked the Minister of Fuel and Power how much domestic coal was exported to foreign consumers in 1938 and in 1954, respectively; and the reason for the difference in quantity.
§ Mr. Geoffrey LloydExports of large bituminous coal, only part of which were suitable for domestic purposes, were 10½ and 3½ million tons respectively. The decline reflects a reduction in overseas demand for large coal as well as lack of supplies in this country.
