HC Deb 13 October 1975 vol 897 c643W
23. Mr. Godman Irvine

asked the Secretary of State for Energy on what grounds he is proposing to erect Dungeness C Nuclear Power Station and the reasons for the timing of his decision.

Mr. Eadie

The Central Electricity Generating Board applied to Lord Carrington, the then Secretary of State in January 1974 for consent to construct a third nuclear power station at Dungeness. This application is in abeyance until a further programme of nuclear generation is adopted.
