HC Deb 25 February 1957 vol 565 c122W
51. Sir W. Anstruther-Gray

asked the Paymaster-General what further progress he can now report in the diversion of coal transport from road to rail.

Mr. Maudling

The National Coal Board reports a slight fall to a weekly rate of 57,000 tons. This was due to a local shortage of railway wagons, which my right hon. Friend the Minister of Transport informs me was only temporary.
