Coking Coal Stocks

HC Deb 05 February 1974 vol 868 cc291-2W

Mr. Eddie Griffiths

asked the Minister for Energy what tonnages of coking coal are in stock at pitheads and held by the British Steel Corporation, respectively.

Mr. Emery

At 26th January 1974 the National Coal Board held 01 million tons of coking coal and the British Steel Corporation held just over 1.3 million tons; obviously there is some unevenness in the distribution of these stocks.
