HC Deb 23 March 1970 vol 798 c252W
58. Mr. Eadie

asked the Minister of Technology what reply he has sent to the representations from the Institution of Professional Civil Servants on the setting up of plant by the Government for large-scale production of carbon fibres; and what consideration he has given to the technology of coal derivatives in the project.

Dr. Ernest A. Davies

The I.P.C.S. letter is being considered in the Department and my right hon. Friend expects to reply very shortly. Work on coal products as a raw material for carbon fibre production is in progress.
