HC Deb 28 July 1955 vol 544 c220W
Mr. Gower

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power what steps he will take to ensure that power stations to be erected in future will use alternative fuels to economise in the use of coal; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd

The need to save coal by the installation of coal and oil firing equipment in new stations that are suitably placed is well recognised and the Central Electricity Authority are already planning two large new generating stations for dual firing.
