HC Deb 19 October 1943 vol 392 c1221W
Sir R. Glyn

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Works on whose instructions a test of fuel economisers arrange to take place on an Admiralty boiler in September 1942, was cancelled; and what were the reasons for such cancellation?

Mr. Hicks

Preliminary tests were carried out by this Ministry for the Fuel Efficiency Committee of the Ministry of Fuel and Power in July and August, 1942. Further tests were not proceeded with as at the time the testing staff was fully occupied on other work and the Fuel Efficiency Committee decided that there was sufficient evidence from various quarters on the subject of economisers.
