§ 29. Sir H. Harrisonasked the Minister of Power what is the starting date and what are the estimated completion dates, for the building of the second nuclear power station at Sizewell, and the estimated date when the station will generate electricity for the public.
§ Mr. MasonI am still considering the Central Electricity Generating Board's application for consent for this station.
§ Sir H. HarrisonIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that when the original station was built, is was designed to have a second one there and that this is rather expected, provided it is a sound financial proposition?

§ 30. Sir H. Harrisonasked the Minister of Power what proposals he has received from the Central Electricity Generating Board for the erecting of new pylons to carry the extra lines for electricity to be generated at the second power station at Sizewell; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. FreesonNone, Sir.
