HC Deb 20 January 1969 vol 776 cc55-6W
Mr. McGuire

asked the Minister of Power what is the estimated present value of the total loss to the Central Electricity Generating Board on its contract to supply electricity to the aluminium smelter in Anglesey at a guaranteed price, based on the nuclear power station at Dungeness "B", where costs have risen since the contract was negotiated.

Mr. Mason

I am advised by the Chairman of the Central Electricity Generating Board that the developments at Dungeness "B" do not significantly prejudice the viability of the smelter contract, which includes allowances for contingencies.
