HC Deb 08 February 1971 vol 811 c6W
47. Mr. Dormand

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what changes he envisages in the coal output figure for 1975, forecast in the 1967 White Paper, Command Paper No. 3438.

Sir J. Eden

The demand for coal in 1975 will depend on how its competitive position develops over the years, and any specific output figure could be misleading.
