HC Deb 05 May 1925 vol 183 cc735-6
Mr. PALING

asked the Secretary for Mines how many low temperature coal carbonisation plants are operating in Great Britain; how many tons of coal are being used daily for such purposes; and how many of such plants have proved to be a commercial success?

Colonel LANE-FOX

The development of these processes on a commercial scale is still mainly in the experimental stage, and I am not able to give any exact figures of the kind for which the hon. Member asks.
