HC Deb 14 May 1973 vol 856 cc245-6W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what research his Department has undertaken in the conversion of organic waste into marketable protein, for example on the extraction of microbial protein from the waste husks of carob bean for compounding with animal feedstuffs or on other waste products.

Mrs. Fenner

There has been no research undertaken by my Department into the conversion of organic waste into marketable protein, but developments in this field are kept under review.
