HC Deb 29 October 1987 vol 121 c370W
Mr. John Marshall

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what information he has about the price of coal on the world market; and how this compares with the price charged by British Coal to the Central Electricity Generating Board.

Mr. Michael Spicer

Ranges of spot prices for steam coal at Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Antwerp are published regularly in "Coal Week International". The prices paid by the CEGB for its coal are a commercial matter for the board.
