HC Deb 28 March 1963 vol 674 c1527
11. Mr. Dalyell

asked the Minister of Power what investigations are being conducted into the production of acetylene from high temperature treatment of coal.

Mr. Peyton

The National Coal Board is carrying out research into this matter.

Mr. Skeet

Would it not be more economic to continue the production of acetylene from calcium carbide?

Mr. Peyton

Perhaps my hon. Friend would put down a Question about that.
