HC Deb 13 November 1991 vol 198 cc560-1W
Mr. Redmond

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy when he hopes to announce his decision about the dates of closure or continued operation of the nuclear power stations at(a) Bradwell, Essex, (b) Sizewell A, Suffolk, (c) Dungeness A, Kent, and (d) Hinkley Point, Somerset.

Mr. Heathcoat-Amory

This is a matter for the company. The decision will be a commercial one, provided that the Health and Safety Executive's nuclear installations inspectorate are satisfied that continued operation of the plant is safe.
