HC Deb 25 June 1990 vol 175 c114W
61. Mr. Matthew Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy what is his most recent estimate of the potential for geothermal energy production in Cornwall.

Mr. Peter Morrison

The most recent estimate of the potential for geothermal energy production in the United Kingdom was published in energy paper No. 55, copies of which have been placed in the Library of the House. A review of progress of the geothermal programme and future possibilities is currently in hand. I hope to visit the project myself next month.
