HC Deb 02 May 1966 vol 727 cc71-2W
Mr. Peter Mills

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science (1) what the Government geologists are doing in the West Okement area of Okehampton; and for whom they are doing it;

(2) whether the results of the trial borings being made in the West Okement area of Okehampton will be made public.

Mr. Goronwy Roberts

The Geological Survey is carrying out research into the cause of certain magnetic anomalies occurring in the subsurface rocks in the area of Sourton Tors. This is a part of its own programme of work approved by the Geological Survey Board in 1964.

The results will be published when the work is completed and written up.
