HC Deb 04 December 1969 vol 792 cc354-5W
Sir J. Eden

asked the Minister of Technology what discussions he has had recently with the National Coal Board concerning the world shortage of coking coal and its plans for taking advantage of this situation; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Alan Williams

The Board rightly regard the home market as its first responsibility, but it is also alive to the opportunities which may arise for coking coal exports.
