HC Deb 19 July 1966 vol 732 c53W
82. Mr. James Davidson

asked the Minister of Power if he will give the average cost of production of one ton of coal in each division of the National Coal Board for the past year, and the basic price per ton to the retailer in each zone of Scotland, England, and Wales.

Dr. Bray

The latest published figures for costs are at Table 2 of the National Coal Board's Annual Accounts for 1964–65.

On prices to retailers, I would refer the hon. Member to the reply my right hon. Friend gave to the hon. Member for Glasgow, Cathcart (Mr. Edward M. Taylor) on 26th April. I am asking the Chairman of the Board to send the hon. Member a copy of the list of current prices.
