HC Deb 21 November 1973 vol 864 cc456-7W
Mr. David Price

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what progress is being made under his sponsorship of a chemical fuel cell with commercial prospects.

Mr. Emery

The prospects for fuel cells are kept under review by the Government and the nationalised industries in the light of the changing energy scene and technological developments in other countries, but at present I am advised that the prospects do not warrant my sponsoring further work.
