HC Deb 10 July 1989 vol 156 cc380-1W
Mr. Morley

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy what is his latest estimate of the likely cost of electricity produced from fusion sources.

Mr. Michael Spicer

At present, work on fusion is still at the stage of establishing whether fusion is a scientifically feasible source of power. It is too soon to make any reliable estimate of the likely cost of electricity from fusion sources.
