HC Deb 11 March 1985 vol 75 cc12-3
16. Mrs. Clwyd

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what plans Her Majesty's Government have for further construction of pressurised water reactors in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Goodlad

The decision by my right hon. Friend on the construction of a PWR at Sizewell depends on the outcome of the public inquiry.

Mrs. Clwyd

What percentage of total investment in manufacturing industry do the Government's plans for the expansion of nuclear generation of electricity represent?

Mr. Goodlad

Plans for future power stations, whether PWR or other types, must await my right hon. Friend's decision on Sizewell, which I cannot anticipate.
