HC Deb 21 March 1979 vol 964 c643W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Energy whether he is aware of the National Coal Board's decision to import coal from South Africa, the United States of America and Poland at cost to the balance of payments; what is the Government's policy on such imports; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Eadie

The chairman of the National Coal Board advises me that he has no plans to import coal from South Africa, Poland or the United States of America.
