What Does NCB Stand For?
NCB stands for National Coal Board
The National Coal Board (NCB) was a public body established in the United Kingdom in 1946, responsible for the nationalized coal industry. Its primary role was to oversee the production and regulation of coal mining, ensuring supply for energy and other industrial needs. The NCB aimed to manage the coal industry efficiently, improve working conditions, and advance coal technology. It operated until the privatization of the coal industry in the 1990s, at which point its functions were largely transferred to private entities and other organizations.
