§ Mr. EadieNo comprehensive list on a project basis is available and some of the research is not in the public sector. Much information about energy research projects in the public sector is published in the annual reports of the nationalised fuel and power industries, the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority and the research councils, and the annual research and development reports of Government Departments. These reports are in the House of Commons Library.
