HC Deb 13 July 2000 vol 353 c612W
16. Mr. Stunell

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what estimate he has made of increased carbon dioxide emissions consequent upon the rescheduling of closure of Magnox nuclear power stations. [128956]

Mrs. Liddell

The projections within "Energy Projections for the UK: Working Paper", issued by my Department in March, include assumptions on the timing of closure of Magnox stations. The projected levels of carbon dioxide release in the Kyoto target period are unaffected by the recent announcements.
