Coal-fired Power Stations

HC Deb 16 February 1959 vol 600 c4

10. Mr. A. Roberts

asked the Pay master-General what general direction he has given to the Central Electricity Generating Board to close old coal-fired power stations.

Sir I. Horobin

None, Sir.

Mr. Roberts

If this does come about, will the Parliamentary Secretary support the refitting of old power stations, whereby efficiency could be increased considerably, and far above the efficiency of nuclear power stations?

Sir I. Horobin

I think that is a very wide question.
