HC Deb 26 November 1979 vol 974 c431W
Mr. Gordon Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what work is currently being carried out by the Combined Heat and Power Group; and what practical results from its research have materialised.

Mr. John Moore

With the presentation of its report to the Secretary of State for Energy in May, the Combined Heat and Power Group, chaired by Dr. Walter Marshall, concluded its work. The many complex issues raised in the report are being studied carefully and an announcement will be made in due course. I have recently announced a change in the extended energy survey scheme in order to assist detailed studies into the industrial potential of combined heat and power.
