HC Deb 03 August 1978 vol 955 cc642-3W
Mr. Woodall

asked the Secretary of State for Industry how much coal has been imported by the British Steel Corporation since 1st January.

Mr. Kaufman

This is a matter for the British Steel Corporation, which is currently discussing its future import requirements with the National Coal Board. I am naturally anxious that such imports should be kept to the absolute minimum.
