Mr. Shinwell told the House of Commons that the United States reported that its coal exports to . Europe were being made solely in accordance with recommendations from the European Coal Organization, to which Britain would have to apply if she wished to share in alloca- tions.
"It may be said that if the an expected gap of 8,800.000 United States steps up its coal tons between Britain's expect- exports to 3,000,000 tons Q ed production of 200,000,000 month in the third quarter of tons of coal in the next 12 this year," said Mr. Skinwell, months and the country's mini.

He said Government will ban export of mining machinery abroad after the current export orders have been completed and will take other steps in an ef fort to increase domestic coal production.
