HC Deb 08 February 1988 vol 127 c62W
Mr. Dalyell

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy if he will make a statement on his recent visit to the headquarters of the Central Electricity Board's national grid control system of Southwark; what arguments were put to him about the technical value of the coherence of the electricity system in times of emergency; and what his response was.

Mr. Parkinson

I visited the Central Electricity Generating Board's national control centre twice last autumn, and had wide-ranging discussions.
