HC Deb 28 February 1939 vol 344 c1083
64. Mr. A. Edwards

asked the Secretary for Mines whether he has investigated the claims made for the oil-from-coal plant erected at Bedlay Colliery, Glenborg; and, if so, whether he can state the result of such investigation?

Captain Crookshank

The company owning this plant have kept my Department informed regarding the development of their process, but, as the plant has only recently been put into operation, it is, I fear, too early to make any definite statement about results.
