HC Deb 01 December 1992 vol 215 c111W
Mr. Llwyd

To ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will publish estimates for the average amount and value of fossil fuel used in the construction of a nuclear power station in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Eggar

It is very difficult to make estimates of the amount and value of fossil fuels utilised in the construction of any power station. In particular, it is difficult to hypothecate electricity used in the manufacture of materials used in the construction of the station to any particular fuel source.
