HC Deb 18 November 1930 vol 245 cc262-3W
Mr. MORLEY

asked the Secretary for Mines what progress has been made in perfecting the process of the low-temperaure carbonisation of coal for the production of oil and other products?

Mr. SHINWELL

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given on 27th May last to a similar question by the hon. Member for Blackpool (Sir W. de Frece), a copy of which I am sending to him. The next issue of the Annual Report of the Fuel Research Board will be published in two or three weeks' time.
