HC Deb 15 November 1967 vol 754 c153W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Minister of Power whether he is aware that the reduction in the power station building programme has caused redundancies at E.C.C. Limited which manufacture switchgear for such stations; and if he will therefore reconsider the reductions in the programme.

Mr. Marsh

The capital programme is already very large and clearly could not be increased above the level of anticipated demand. I notice that my hon. Friend the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Labour has replied to my hon. Friend on redeployment.—[Vol. 753, c.192.]
