HC Deb 30 November 1970 vol 807 cc262-3W
92. Mr. Woof

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will give a general direction to the National Coal Board not to flare-off coke-oven gas to waste because it cannot be mixed with natural gas; and what action his Department is taking to ensure that this asset is not wasted.

Sir J. Eden

No; disposal of this gas is a matter for the National Coal Board.
