§ Mr. Eadieasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what is the latest subsidy per ton of coal projected to be paid in the Common Market countries of West Germany, Belgium, France and Holland; and what proportion of it is allocated for stockpiling.
§ Mr. EmeryI understand the figures for 1972 are about £0.9 a ton for West Germany, £2.4 a ton for Belgium, £2.3 a ton for France and £2.1 a ton for Holland. The figures do not include social security aids, and no subsidies are at present paid for stockpiling.
