HC Deb 28 June 1954 vol 529 c871
27. Mr. Palmer

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power the number and location of new district heating schemes planned in conjunction with electric power developments.

Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd

Three; at Spondon, Warrington and Stepney.

Mr. Palmer

Will the right hon. Gentleman discuss with his colleagues the possibility of providing special financial assistance beyond the resources of the electricity industry for the development of these schemes?

Mr. Lloyd

No. I think it is much better that this matter should proceed as at present, on the basis of proper commercial negotiation.
