§ 92. Mr. Lewisasked the Paymaster-General whether he is aware that there is a surplus on the home market of blacksmith's coal or slack, and that there is a desire on the part of the Government of the German Democratic Republic to import this surplus coal; and what action he proposes to take to export coal of this category to Eastern Germany.
§ Mr. RentonI have no knowledge of the desire of East Germany for this type of coal, but if they are interested I have no doubt the National Coal Board could make supplies available for export through the normal trade channels.
