§ 41. Mr. Eadieasked the Minister of Technology if he has considered the evidence relating to "More Chemicals From Coal in a Microwave Discharge", details of which have been sent to him; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. FowlerI cannot trace the evidence mentioned by my hon. Friend. He may, however, be referring to the work at the United States Bureau of Mines' Pittsburgh Coal Research Centre reported inChemical & Engineering News earlier this year. This research seems to be at too early a stage for it to be feasible to assess its economic possibilities.
