HC Deb 22 May 1968 vol 765 cc77-8W
49. Mr. Alasdair Mackenzie

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will issue a general direction to the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board, to consider with industry plans for a 200-ton a year heavy water plant based on an interruptible power supply.

Dr. Dickson Mabon

My right hon. Friend does not think that this would be an appropriate subject for a general direction, and in any event the Board is always ready to enter into discussions with any industry which wishes to begin operations in its area.
