§ 16. Mr. Maclennanasked the Minister of Power what proposals have been made to him regarding the supply of gas to Golspie, Sutherland, by the Scottish Gas Board; and if he has approved them.
§ Mr. FreesonNone, Sir.
§ Mr. MaclennanIs my hon. Friend aware that this is an astonishing reply, since almost a year ago my right hon. Friend admitted to me that the existing plant was incapable of supplying the needs of the area? Is my hon. Friend further aware that provision has been made in Caithness for the supply of liquified petroleum air-gas? Will he consider if there is a need for similar supplies in Golspie?
§ Mr. FreesonWe have been in touch with the Scottish Gas Board and are advised that there is no supply problem at Golspie, the potential of the plant having been increased somewhat. If the developments referred to by my hon. 1171 Friend in Caithness are successful, no doubt the Board will consider introducing them where they are useful.
