HC Deb 07 December 1922 vol 159 cc2002-3W
Mr. A. T. DAVIES

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether the machinery research branch of the Ministry of Agriculture had under consideration a scheme for securing sources of cheap and easily adapted power in rural areas; what is the nature of the scheme; and what have been the results of investigations?

Sir R. SANDERS

I presume my hon. Friend refers to investigations into the utility of windmills as a source of electrical power. If so, I can at present add nothing to the answer which I gave yesterday to the hon. and gallant Member for Kincardine and Western (Lieut.-Colonel Murray).
