HC Deb 31 January 1963 vol 670 c214W
Mr. Kelley

asked the Minister of Power what are the latest reports he has received from studies made of the Lurgi project, and of the enrichment processes; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peyton

I have been informed that the Joint Study Group of the National Coal Board and the Gas Council received by last October the design studies for a large-scale Lurgi plant which three contracting firms were commissioned to prepare, and that appraisal of the studies will take several months. In conjunction with that appraisal, the Group is considering alternative enrichment processes.
