HC Deb 26 June 1947 vol 439 c88W
Mr. Bossom

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power how many power stations in Great Britain are using the same type of low-grade oil fuel as is proposed to be used in the power station to be erected at Bankside.

Mr. Shinwell

The first part of the new Bankside generating station will not be in operation for some three years and it is too early to say definitely what type of fuel oil will be used. The plant is, however, being designed to be capable of burning low grade oil fuels which have not so far been used at any other generating station in this country.
