HL Deb 19 January 1977 vol 379 c132WA
Lord HAWKE

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether the introduction of the new AGR nuclear plants announced in Newsletter 101 of the CEGB will have the effect of making off-peak electricity much more expensive and whether they have considered the effect of this development on the owners of night storage heaters.

Lord STRABOLGI

I am assured by the industry that the introduction of the AGRs will not lead to an increase in off-peak tariffs.
