HC Deb 22 June 1953 vol 516 c111W
89. Mr. Palmer

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power why he has refused to give his consent to the building of a new power station by the British Electricity Authority at Machen, Monmouthshire.

Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd

After full consideration of all relevant facts, and in particular the evidence given at the public inquiry, I considered the disadvantages would outweigh the advantages.
