I am sure that you will see the importance of this, Sir. We have, so far, always been able to raise in the House matters about the allocation of coal to the domestic consumer, and hon. Members get many complaints about this through the post. The Parliamentary Secretary's Answer would seem to mean that this is now a question for the National Coal Board. It would, therefore, be useful to us to know where we stand; whether in future the Table is to accept these Questions or whether we are to be directed to ask our questions of the Coal Board.
