§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he has yet received the views of the Domestic Coal Consumers Council on the approach made to them by the Coal Board for different percentage increases 28W for different types of coal; and whether, in view of the Government's declared policy of reducing prices in general, and costs and services of nationalised industries in particular, he will refuse to grant permission for any price increase in domestic coal.
§ Sir J. EdenI will of course take into account all relevant matters when considering the Council's views, which I have not yet received.
