§ Mr. Skeetasked the Secretary of State for Energy what assessment he has made of the advantages to Her Majesty's Government of encouraging development of wide cut multi-fuel engine concepts.
§ Mr. David MitchellI have been asked to reply.
It is not possible at this stage to make a full assessment of the advantages of the introduction of engines with wide cut or multi-fuel capabilities into the total engine population. Engine developments by the industry with the encouragement of the Department may be expected to reap advantage in the form of improved fuel utilisation.
