HC Deb 01 August 1963 vol 682 cc130-1W
60. Mr. Godman Irvine

asked the Minister of Power if he is aware of local anxiety regarding the proposal of the Central Electricity Generating Board to erect a sub-station in Potman's Lane, Catsfield, of which notice was not given at the recent planning inquiry; and if he will order an inquiry under Section 34(3) of the Electricity Act, 1957, into this proposal.

Mr. Wood

The Board said at the inquiry that a sub-station would be needed in this area if a route south of Battle were chosen for the overhead lines. Any inquiry would be a matter for my right hon. Friend the Minister of Housing and Local Government.
