HC Deb 17 December 1990 vol 183 c13W
Mr. Simon Hughes

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy what research he has undertaken to establish the safety of sourgas as a power source for gas-fired power stations; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Moynihan

None. Health and safety at power stations, including appropriate research, is primarily a matter for the employer. The Health and Safety Executive is the public body responsible for ensuring compliance with statutory requirements in this area.
