HC Deb 03 December 1976 vol 921 c322W
Mr. Skinner

asked the Secretary of State for Energy whether he will consider the allocation of stocking aid in respect of coke stocks as on the same basis as that for coal.

Mr. Eadie

The case for providing stocking aid for coke is not so pressing as that for stocking aid for coal. Given the need to restrict public expenditure, stocking aid this year is, therefore, being confined to coal.
