§ 60. Mr. Kelleyasked the Minister of Power, in view of the recent reduction of generating capacity at Thorpe Marsh 226W Power Station, arising from alleged constructional deficiencies, if he will now institute an independent inquiry into the technical faults which have developed at this station since it was first commissioned.
§ Mr. FreesonNo. The general question of delays in the construction and commissioning of C.E.G.B. power stations has been examined and reported upon (Cmnd. 3960), but the operation of particular power stations such as Thorpe Marsh is a matter within the day-to-day management and operational responsibilities of the C.E.G.B.
