Mr. Dormand
asked the Secretary of State for Energy if he will make a statement on Her Majesty's Government's present policy on coal liquefaction.
Mr. John Moore
Following my statement in November 1982, progress continues to be made towards the board's 2½ tonnes/day coal liquefaction project planned at Point of Ayr. The Government have offered up to £500,000 to match the board's own contribution to the project definition and detailed engineering design stage which is expected to begin shortly.
