HC Deb 02 July 1962 vol 662 c6W
51. Mr. R. Harris

asked the Minister of Power if he is aware of the losses suffered by the industrial consortia in constructing nuclear power stations; and, in view of the difficulties facing this industry, if he will make a statement on the future of the nuclear power programme.

The Board is ordering One nuclear power station a year, as forecast in the White Paper on the Nuclear Power Programme published in June, 1960.
