§ 22. Sir H. Legge-Bourkeasked the Minister of Technology what technical advice he has given to the Central Electricity Generating Board regarding the suitability of nuclear reactors for Hinkley B generating station.
§ Mr. BennNone, Sir. Decisions about reactor design for their nuclear power stations are a matter for the generating boards after consultation with the suppliers. The Atomic Energy Authority is always available to give advice.
§ Sir H. Legge-BourkeWill the right hon. Gentleman give an assurance that 252 we shall at least have the same sort of technical information in respect of Hinkley B as we had in the case of the Dungeness B reactor?
§ Mr. BennI shall look at the information which was made available previously. On the face of it, I can see no reason why there should be any difference.
