HC Deb 15 December 1978 vol 960 c595W
Mr. Allen McKay

asked the Secretary of State for Energy whether, in order to assist industry, particularly the mining industry, the steel industry and the motor manufacturing industry, he will consider increasing the subsidy to the National Coal Board on coking coal.

Dr. John Cunningham:

The level of coking coal subsidy will be one aspect of the Government's consideration of the overall level of future grant support for the National Coal Board.
