HC Deb 22 June 1959 vol 607 c90W
Mr. Mason

asked the Paymaster-General the present estimated figure of the exports of coal for 1960–1965; and to what extent he visualises a substantial increase.

Mr. Maudling

United Kingdom coal exports should recover with a revival of economic activity in Europe, where our main markets lie, but it is not possible to estimate the extent of the recovery.
