HC Deb 17 February 1966 vol 724 c282W
65. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the President of the Board of Trade what are his plans for using electric power from the new generating plant recently established at Dounreay to expand existing industries and to establish new productive factories in the City of Aberdeen.

Mr. Darling

Electricity supplies from the project announced by my right hon. Friend the Minister of Technology last week will not be available for some years. I understand, however, that there are ample existing supplies for industrial use in Aberdeen which is in a development district where I am already actively encouraging industrial expansion.
