HC Deb 28 July 1955 vol 544 c221W
Mr. Nabarro

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power the respective installed capacity in aggregate, expressed KwI, for public and private electricity generating facilities at 30th June, 1955; and, in view of the recent Government decision covering revision of capital investment programmes in the nationalised industries, what steps he is taking to improve cooperation between public and private generators working in parallel, or otherwise.

Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd

Twenty-one million kilowatts and so far as can be estimated about 4½ million kilowatts, respectively. The recent decision regarding investment does not call for any exceptional steps to improve the existing co-operation between public and private generators.
