HC Deb 18 March 1968 vol 761 cc25-6
40. Mr. Eadie

asked the Minister of Technology if he will list in the OFFICIAL REPORT research work being done by the Atomic Energy Authority's establishments which could have economic advantages to the nation.

Dr. Bray

All the Authority's civil work could have economic advantages to the nation and this is why it is done. The work is described in some detail in the Authority's annual reports.

Mr. Eadie

In the interests of the nation and of the miners, will my hon. Friend cause an investigation to be made into the results on coal derivatives? Is he aware that other nations are beginning to outstrip this country in pursuing the use of coal derivatives as an economic advantage to them?

Dr. Bray

That is a different question.
