§ 57. Mr. Priorasked the Minister of Power if he is aware that the price of broken and large coke has increased from 12s. 6d. per hundredweight in 1965 to its present price of 16s. 5d. per hundredweight; what is the reason for this increase; and what action he will take.
§ Dr. BrayI understand 12s. 6d. a cwt. was the price of broken and large coke in July, 1965. The price of 16s. 5d. refers to Gloco, a higher quality product, and includes 9d. in respect of the increase in coke prices on 1st May and Is. owing to partial removal of the summer discount in August.
