HC Deb 15 February 1944 vol 397 cc14-5
26. Mr. Ellis Smith

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether he is investigating the practicability of the underground gasification of coalmines and of abandoned mines; if so, when does he expect to be able to consider the results; is the experience of Russia being considered; and can he state the extent to which they have applied the policy of underground gasification.

Major Lloyd Georģe

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer I gave to the hon. Member for Heywood and Radcliffe (Mr. Wootton-Davies) on 8th February.
