A theoretical investigation of the problem of the flow past a continuously moving infinite vertical porous plate with uniform suction is obtained. A uniform magnetic field is applied normal to  the plate. The equations governing the flow are solved analytically. The results are obtained for velocity field, temperature field and the coefficient of skin friction at the plate in the direction of flow. The influence of various parameters entering into the problem on the above mentioned field is discussed graphically.

MHD, thermal radiation, heat transfer, electrically conducting.
