HC Deb 27 April 1981 vol 3 c315W
Mr. Carmichael

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if he will publish his proposed timetable for feasibility studies on combined heat and power systems, stating the order in which tests on each of the test cities will be started.

Mr. John Moore

On 12 March I announced the nine areas which will be the subject of more detailed feasibility work. My Department is currently in the process of appointing consultants for each of these nine locations to assist the lead consultants to complete the first stage of the programme by undertaking engineering and marketing surveys. This stage of the work is scheduled for completion by this autumn. The work will be undertaken simultaneously at all nine locations.—[Vol. 1000, c.385.]
