HC Deb 28 March 1977 vol 929 cc13-4W
23. Mr. Hooley

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what designs of windmill for producing electricity are currently under study by his Department.

Mr. Eadie

My Department is not currently supporting work on any particular design of windmill. The Department's Energy Technology Support Unit has completed an assessment study on wind power and prepared a report which my right hon. Friend's Advisory Council on Research and Development is considering. The Council will be advising my right hon. Friend shortly on its views.
