Mr. Batey
asked the Secretary for Mines when he expects to begin to build plant to extract oil from coal in this country?
Mr. Lloyd
This Question involves a number of complex technical issues, which fall within the scope of the special inquiries about which I made a statement on 20th March. I hope to receive reports of these special inquiries shortly.
Mr. Batey
Will the Minister answer the Question? Will it be this year or next year, or will it be never?
Mr. Lloyd
It depends on the reports I receive.
