§ 70. Mr. TICKLERasked the Minister of Munitions if a representative of one of the Allied Governments has referred to him a process for the conversion of camp waste into fuel; whether the same process has also been referred to him by the War Office; if so, whether the process had been examined by experts having a knowledge of such matters and the results of such investigation; and whether the inventor of the process has offered to visit any camp, design and supervise the laying down of the first plant, and give the process to the country during the period of the War without any payment or consideration?
§ Mr. KELLAWAYThe process has been most carefully investigated on behalf of both the Ministry of Munitions and the War Office, but it has not been found practicable to adopt it in military camps because it depends upon the inclusion in the material to be treated of food refuse for the advantageous utilisation of which other arrangements are in force.
