HC Deb 05 December 1977 vol 940 c486W
Mrs. Jeger

asked the Minister of Overseas Development what plans she has to aid the use of solar power in developing countries.

Mrs. Hart

My Department is supporting from aid funds the development of a simple, cheap, solar water heater, and I have also agreed to support work on the development of a small solar-powered refrigerator. I would welcome more requests. I am also looking into ways in which we can increase our capacity to help developing countries in the field of new and renewable sources of energy.
