HC Deb 20 February 1968 vol 759 cc72-3W
Mr. William Edwards

asked the Minister of Power whether he will cause a survey to be made of old slate quarry mines to assess their suitability for the storage of North Sea gas.

Mr. Marsh

I am advised that gas storage in old slate quarry mines is unlikely to be practicable, even if they could be found in suitable locations, because of the difficulty of ensuring gas tightness.
