HC Deb 13 July 1965 vol 716 c37W
Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Minister of Power if he will make a statement on his plans for the future of the Scottish coal industry, in view of the fact that nuclear-powered generation of electricity is likely to be less than half the cost of electricity generated by either coal or oil.

Mr. Frederick Lee

I refer my hon. Friend to the reply given to the hon. Member for Cirencester and Tewkesbury (Mr. Ridley) today.
