HC Deb 06 November 1972 vol 845 c85W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the cost of transporting one ton of coal 50 and 100 miles, respectively, by rail; and what are the comparable costs by road.

Mr. Eyre

This information is not available. The cost of carrying one ton of coal by rail or road will in any case depend upon the precise circumstances.
