HC Deb 29 October 1956 vol 558 cc109-10W
106. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a statement on his plans for the further development of nuclear power for industrial and domestic purposes in Scotland.

Mr. J. Stuart

Apart from the electricity to be supplied from the Atomic Energy Authority's Scottish establishments, the development of nuclear power for industrial and for domestic purposes in Scotland is primarily the responsibility of the Scottish Electricity Boards. The South of Scotland Electricity Board have applied for my consent to the construction of a nuclear power station in Ayrshire.
