HC Deb 15 January 1987 vol 108 c261W
Mr. Hardy

asked the Secretary of State for Energy from which countries coal has been imported during the last 12 months; and what information he has in each case as to the extent to which the United Kingdom price of that coal properly reflects the cost of production, marketing and distribution.

Mr. David Hunt

In the past 12 months coal has been imported from Australia, the United States, Poland, South Africa, West Germany, Canada, the Netherlands, Belgium and Colombia. Information on how the delivered price is calculated is not available.
