§ 11. Mr. Arbuthnotasked the Minister of Fuel and Power if he will make a statement on the position regarding the projected electrical power station at Richborough; whether a site has yet been selected; and whether the station will be coal or oil fired.
§ Mr. Geoffrey LloydThe British Electricity Authority has made no application to me for my statutory consent to build a generating station at Richborough, but I am aware that the Kent County Council has shown in the town development plan for Richborough a site for a generating station and that the Authority has not yet been able to obtain the permission of the landowner to enter the site or make the trial borings which are essential before any design work can be done on the project.
