§ Mrs. GillanTo ask the President of the Board of Trade what estimates have been made of the employment consequences for the gas industry of the moratorium on gas-fired power stations; [19989]
(2) what estimate she has made of the total investment which has been frozen by the moratorium on assents for gas-fired power stations. [19991]
§ Mr. Battle[holding answer 9 December 1997]: It is not possible to make such an estimate. Assessing the impact on those associated with gas fired generation must await the outcome of the Review.
