I am much obliged for that information. Is my hon. Friend aware that the European Coal and Steel Community trend shows that for 1948 coal occupied 80 per cent. of the energy market and 50 per cent. in 1963? Having observed this course of trend, what steps is he taking to ensure that miners are redeployed in suitable employments and that the economy is given the opportunity of access to low-cost fuels which are now available?
