§ 38. Mr. MorganTo ask the Secretary of State for Energy what proportion of the minimum non-fossil fuel generated electricity in the privately owned electricity industry structure which he proposes for England and Wales he envisages will be generated from nuclear stations.
§ Mr. ParkinsonThis will depend on a number of factors, such as relative fuel prices and the development of fuel technologies. But I would expect that in the early years after privatisation the major proportion will come from nuclear power stations.
