HC Deb 26 July 1974 vol 877 cc582-3W
Mr. Horam

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what research is currently being done into the production of energy from wave motion.

Mr. Varley

A desk study is being undertaken for me by the National Engineering Laboratory and I expect the report, which is due in the autumn, to include a survey of work in progress in this country and throughout the world. A number of organisations in the United Kingdom are already interested in wave power and some small scale experimental work is in progress, notably at Edinburgh University.
