§ 94. Mr. Austinasked the Minister of Fuel and Power what provisions are being made in connection with the new Manchester Corporation power station at Carrington, Cheshire, to utilise the waste heat for houses and other development works; and whether his attention has been directed to the desirability of making some arrangement to supply such heat in this locality, where the Urmston local authority has been authorised to carry out a district heating scheme and important industrial extensions are now in hand at 269W Carrington and Partington, near the site of the proposed new power station.
§ Mr. ShinwellThe Electricity Commissioners, whose consent to the erection of generating stations is required under the Electricity Supply Acts, inform me that no proposals in regard to the proposed station at Carrington have yet been submitted by the Manchester Corporation. I am therefore unaware of the details of the proposed station. The answer to the second part of the question is in the negative.
