§ Mr. DalyellTo ask the Secretary of State for Energy what proposals he has to support a programme of development of photovoltaics as presented to his Department by Sir John Cadogan FRS.
§ Mr. MoynihanOn 8 May I announced that the Government are to fund a £250,000 programme of research into the use of solar power for electricity production. We believe that photovoltaics is a renewable technology which has considerable potential, particularly when incorporated into the fabric of a building, and it is towards this area that the Department's programme will be focused.
