HC Deb 09 July 1969 vol 786 c1337
4. Mr. Hooley

asked the Minister of Technology what action is being taken by his Department to overcome the lack of development in British industry of the application of fluidics.

The Joint Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministery of Technology (Dr. Jeremy Bray)

The Department is seeking to encourage the greater use of fluidics in industrial applications by offering financial support for projects; by a series of conferences at Cranfield; by lectures, courses and permanent demonstrations at the low-cost automation centres; by the dissemination of technical literature; and by making films.

Mr. Hooley

I thank my hon. Friend for that reply. What action is he taking to concentrate the number of firms which are actually involved in this work?

Dr. Bray

There are not so many firms involved for this to be a problem.
