HC Deb 17 April 1967 vol 745 cc29-30W
Mr. Varley

asked the Minister of Power what is the estimated capital cost of the nuclear power stations he has been asked to approve at Heysham in Lanca- shire and Seaton Carew in Durham; and what he estimates to be the capital cost of stations of comparable size and using coal.

Mr. Marsh

No realistic estimates of the capital cost of the proposed nuclear power stations at Heysham and Seaton Carew can be given until the Central Electricity Generating Board have received tenders.
