HC Deb 18 November 1991 vol 199 cc21-2W
Mr. Home Robertson

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy whether he intends to appoint a replacement for Mr. J. E. Marrow on his Department's study team on wave energy; and if he will make a statement on the composition of the team.

Mr. Moynihan

In the early stages of the wave energy review, Mr. J. E. Marrow and Dr. T. Thorpe worked part time in support of the work of the steering group. Since then, Dr. Thorpe has been engaged full time on the review and as the methodology evolved the emphasis has moved to use of consultants for specific aspects of the work.

Mr. Home Robertson

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy when he expects to publish the results of the 1989 United Kingdom study announced by the then Minister of State, Baroness Hooper, on 6 April 1989.

Mr. Moynihan

The steering group reviewing wave energy is due to complete its work at the end of the year. Two progress reports were circulated in 1990 to the wave energy community and an interim report will be published shortly. A final report is expected to be published early in 1992.
