§ Mr. George Robertsonasked the Secretary of State for Energy if he has any plans to limit the import of household coal from Poland; and if he has any evidence of the impact of such imports on domestic production of coal.
§ Mr. EadieNo. Imports of household coal suitable for the domestic market are running at only about 30,000 tonnes per annum out of a domestic production of 7 million tonnes per annum. This tonnage is imported by private merchants and not the board and is of little consequence.
