HC Deb 15 May 1961 vol 640 c898
9. Mr. Russell

asked the Minister of Power what will be the total cost of erection of the nuclear power station at Trawsfynydd, Merioneth.

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Power (Mr. John George)

The total cost of the station, including the nuclear fuel charge, is expected to be about £75 million.

Mr. Russell

I should like to ask, not in a critical spirit but merely for information, whether work on this project is going on all round the clock? If so, what is the extra cost of doing the work all round the clock as compared with doing it in normal hours?

Mr. George

As far as my right hon. Friend is aware, tenders have been submitted and one tender has been accepted, and the work goes on according to the contractor's desire.
