HC Deb 10 November 1959 vol 613 c31W
92. Mr. Woodburn

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what success has been achieved by the inquiry into the use of peat in Scotland and, in particular, as to its use as fuel for gas turbines.

Mr. Maclay

The Scottish Peat Committee is continuing its investigations into various problems connected with the use of peat, and tests are being made of the experimental gas turbine at Altnabreac; but it is not possible to say yet what precise conclusions may be reached.
