§ Mr. Matthewsasked the Minister of Power if he will make a statement about the research experiments involving the injection of coal into blast furnaces now being carried out by the National Coal Board.
§ Mr. PeytonTrials on a full-scale coal-injection unit at Stanton Ironworks were begun in August, 1962. I understand that it has already been proved that the technique can be used with British coals. It is necessary to continue the trials in order to obtain the best operating conditions for a variety of coals. These should be completed well before the end of 1963.
