HC Deb 05 August 1965 vol 717 c432W
Mr. Gregory

asked the Minister of Power what consideration has now been given to the possibility of exploiting the benefits of further advanced gas-cooled nuclear power stations of similar designs to Dungeness B, where advantage can be taken of the replication factor which could be in the region of 10 per cent. of capital cost; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Frederick Lee

I have not received any proposals from the Central Electricity Generating Board for nuclear stations to follow Dungeness "B". On the question of their costs, I refer my hon. Friend to the reply I gave the hon. Member for Basingstoke (Mr. Mitchell) on 13th July.
