HC Deb 24 May 1978 vol 950 c587W
Mr. Mackintosh

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what response he intends to make to the application from the South of Scotland Electricity Board for consent to the construction of an advanced gas cooled reactor nuclear power station at Torness, East Lothian.

Mr. Millan

I have received representations from several organisations and individuals to the effect that there should be further public inquiry into the South of Scotland Electricity Board's application to construct a nuclear power station at Torness in the light of the decision to adopt the advanced gas cooled reactor system in place of the steam generating heavy water reactor system for which the Board have approval at present.
