HC Deb 07 November 1967 vol 753 c79W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Minister of Technology what research he is doing into problems of developing semi-remote powered tools and support structures for use in the marine environment.

Dr. Bray

None at present, but I am investigating the need for such devices.

The National Research Development Corporation has, together with a group of interested industrialists, for some months been studying in detail the requirements for a technologically based diving activity. This group is now engaged in generating the necessary development work to produce a wide range of aids and equipment for use in undersea working.
