HC Deb 22 July 1981 vol 9 c124W
Mr. Hill

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what is the average price per ton of domestically produced coal sold in the United Kingdom; what is the average price per ton of domestically produced coal sold for export; and what is the average price per ton of imported coal.

Mr. John Moore

In 1980 the average price of coal delivered to the electricity industry in the United Kingdom was £31.84 per tonne and the price delivered to large industrial consumers in the United Kingdom was £35.04 per tonne. This difference in price largely reflected variations in coal quality and delivery charges. Over the same period the average price of imports delivered inland was £34.23 per tonne.
