HC Deb 14 July 1977 vol 935 c230W
Mr. Adley

As well as explaining the provisions of the measure, this would make clear his readiness, as explained during proceedings on the Bill, to use his powers to facilitate appropriately prepared experiments which will complement the work at present being done under the Government-sponsored programme.
