This is undoubtedly true most of our coal goes to China and India at the rate of 400 million tonnes per year.
However when the miners went on strike during the tenure of your kiddy fiddler PM Australia offered to land coal in Britain for the power industry (which would have saved you from the three day week) at less than half the cost of UK produced coal.
Unbelievably Heath turned it down.
