HC Deb 29 January 1968 vol 757 cc241-2W
Mr. Swain

asked the Minister of Power, in view of the 20 per cent. increase in the forecast cost of electricity from Dungeness B Nuclear Power Station, what the ultimate cost of electricity is likely to he from this station.

Mr. Freeson

I have no reason to suppose that the present forecast of 0.57d. kWh for base-load operation over a 20-year life will be materially increased in real terms.
