HC Deb 06 July 1959 vol 608 c87W
32. Mr. Woof

asked the Paymaster-General what general direction he has given to the National Coal Board to make an especial effort to reduce the mounting stocks of coal either by price reductions, restriction of output, or rapidly to develop means to use it in smokeless fuel products.

Mr. Maudling

None. The National Coal Board needs no direction to tackle this problem of which it is very well aware.
