HC Deb 21 May 1969 vol 784 c106W
Mr. Eadie

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works what Government research has been carried out into the development of fly-ash as an additive for binders in the manufacture of cement and for use in other industries.

Mr. John Silkin

Since the early 1950s the Building Research Station has helped the Central Electricity Generating Board to find the best ways of using pulverised fuel ash in building. I understand that the Road Research Laboratory has also made a contribution. Over 40 per cent. of the ash produced by power stations is now used in the construction industries.
