HC Deb 01 February 1979 vol 961 cc509-10W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if he is satisfied that all available supplies of pulverised fuel ash are being directed into industrial use.

Mr. Eadie

Out of the 12 million tonnes of pulverised fuel ash produced by Central Electricity Generating Board power stations, the CEGB markets about 4 million tonnes each year for use in the construction industry. Every effort is made to dispose of the remainder in the most useful possible manner; most of it is used for landscape engineering and land reclamation.
