HC Deb 08 December 1969 vol 793 cc23-4W
Mr. Wingfield Digby

asked the Minister of Technology what is his latest estimate of the comparative cost of generating electricity by nuclear power stations and those using coal and oil, respectively, taking into account capital cost, both for the latest types in operation and also for the latest power stations planned but not yet completed.

Mr. Alan Williams

The C.E.G.B. is currently conducting its annual review of base-load generating costs, and up-to-date estimates should be available about the end of next month.
