HC Deb 07 December 1976 vol 922 c179W
Mr. Sillars

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many coal-burning power stations have been withdrawn from service over the past six years; and what was the average coal burn of each station.

Mr. Gregor MacKenzie

Three coal-fired power stations and part of a fourth were closed by the South of Scotland Electricity Board from 1970 to date. I will ask the Chairman of the Board to write to the hon. Member about the coal consumption of those stations.
