HC Deb 27 June 1967 vol 749 c56W
56. Mr. David Steel

asked the Minister of Power whether he will take steps to ensure that reductions in the price of domestic coal announced by the National Coal Board are passed on to the consumer by coal merchants.

Mr. Freeson

My right hon. Friend is satisfied that the retail coal trade is cooperating in the Government's prices policy and he does not think it necessary to intervene.
