HC Deb 28 June 1982 vol 26 cc227-8W
23. Mr. Hardy

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if he is satisfied that the summary of advice proposed by the Advisory Council on Research and Development accurately reflects the views of those serving on the council; and whether the views of those involved in renewable energy projects were excluded from the council's consideration.

Mr. Mellor

Yes. There was no question of excluding the views of those involved in my Department's renewable energy projects. The reports of all the renewable energy steering committees were made available in full to the council and the chairmen of the committees attended and took part in the discussion.
