HC Deb 20 January 1992 vol 202 c8W
Mr. Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy if he will make it his policy that an amount equal to that spent on fusion research should be spent on research into non-nuclear renewable energies; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Moynihan

It is the Government's policy to allocate resources to research on energy sources in accordance with the needs of individual technologies and taking due account of their state of development. There is no merit in simply imposing arbitrary equality.
