HC Deb 16 June 1947 vol 438 cc1572-3
30. Mr. Henry Strauss

asked the Minister of Supply if he will assure the House that, before reaching any decision on the proposal to establish an atomic power station at Drigg, Cumberland, he will give full weight to the statements regarding a temporary factory in that place which were made by his predecessor in 1939; whether he is aware of the objections to the use of this site on the seaboard of a national park for this purpose; and if he will give an undertaking that he will not proceed with the proposal without the consent and approval of the Minister of Town and Country Planning.

Mr. Wilmot

Yes, Sir.
