Mr. Molly
asked the Minister for Energy what is the level of national coal stocks at the latest available date.
Mr. Emery
The Department's latest Weekly Statistical Statement on Energy, copies of which are available in the Library of the House, shows that on 19th January the National Coal Board held 10·2 million tons and power stations held 13·6 million tons. Recorded stocks at other storage places, mainly coke ovens, are estimated to be about 2 million tons.
