HC Deb 06 February 1958 vol 581 c204W
84. Sir W. Wakefield

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is aware that sun-powered furnaces, mounted on surplus military searchlights, are now available in the United States of America on a mass production basis at a price which can be afforded by low budget colleges; and what steps he is taking to make such equipment available to universities in the Colonies situated in places geographically suitable to the use of such equipment.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

The demand by University or Government research establishments in Colonial Territories for this particular equipment is bound to be relatively small, but I shall bring developments in this field to the notice of those concerned so that they can consider whether they could profitably acquire equipment of this type.
