§ 46. Mr. Warbeyasked the Lord Privy Seal the prospective completion dates for Calder Hall No. 2 unit and for the two units under construction at Chapel Cross.
§ Mr. R. A. ButlerThe Atomic Energy Authority expects that the second unit at Calder Hall will be completed in the 1243 autumn of 1958, and that the two units at Chapel Cross will be completed during 1959.
§ Mr. WarbeyDoes not this remarkable rate of progress show what might be done in the civil construction of atomic power stations if a similar priority and urgency were given to those? In view of the great need to replace oil supplies, will the Government see that a similar urgency is given to them?
§ Mr. ButlerI am glad that the hon. Member acknowledges that there is great progress on the production of the second unit at Calder Hall and the other two units at Chapel Cross. I can assure him that the Government are giving urgent attention to the point which he has put so forcibly to the House.
