HC Deb 17 June 1992 vol 209 c549W
Mr. Tipping

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what is the present timetable for the installation of flue gas desulphurisation equipment at Ferrybridge C power station.

Mr. Eggar

My right hon. Friend the President is considering an application from PowerGen for consent to fit flue gas desulphurisation equipment at Ferrybridge C. Subject to this, the timetable for installation of the equipment is a commercial matter for the company, consistent with meeting its emission limits set by the United Kingdom's national plan for implementing the European Community's large combustion plants directive.
