HC Deb 27 January 1986 vol 90 c377W
Mr. Ron Davies

asked the Secretary of State for Energy to what extent bracken processing for use as fuel is carried out in the United Kingdom; and what similar information he has on its use in other countries.

Mr. David Hunt

Although the technology exists to cut, bale and burn bracken, there are no known instances of bracken being processed for use as fuel either in the United Kingdom or within the European Community. We have no information on this possible use of bracken outside the Community.
