HC Deb 10 May 1966 vol 728 c37W
3. Mr. Maxwell

asked the Minister of Technology whether he will initiate a study jointly with the Minister of Power with a view to reducing the five years that it now takes to build a power station.

Mr. Dell

The Minister of Technology maintains close contact with his right hon. Friend the Minister of Power on how the two Departments can help to reduce the time taken to construct power stations. The primary responsibility rests with the Central Electricity Generating Board and its contractors, who have made arrangements for jointly keeping the progress of the programme under review.
