HC Deb 19 July 1966 vol 732 cc72-3W
Mr. Monro

asked the Minister of Technology if he will site the commercial sea water distillation plant, as investigated at East Kilbride, at the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Station, Chapelcross, Dumfrieshire ; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Benn

Work on the development of sea water distillation is proceeding. There is however no firm proposal for the construction by the Government of a commercial plant. The question of its siting does not therefore arise.
