HL Deb 09 July 2002 vol 637 c81WA
The Earl of Mar and Kellie

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Further to the Written Answer by the Lord Sainsbury of Turville on 25 June (WA 131), what is their policy on the replacement of nuclear power stations in Scotland, and the redevelopment of nuclear power station sites. [HL4982]

Lord Sainsbury of Turville

The replacement of nuclear power stations in Scotland and the redevelopment of nuclear power stations sites would he a commercial matter for the industry, but any proposal to construct a power station in Scotland would require the consent of Scottish Ministers.
