HC Deb 01 February 1960 vol 616 c81W
25. Mr. Owen

asked the Minister of Power why he approved the plan for the West Midland Gas Board to erect a lurgi gasification plant; and whether this experiment is to be encouraged in other areas.

Mr. Wood

The Coleshill plant is expected to make gas from coat, at a competitive price. I will gladly consider any similar proposals which may be included in the future development programme of area boards.
