HC Deb 20 October 1969 vol 788 c170W
Mr. Eadie

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what will be the effect on the estimated costs of electricity sent out from the Hunterston B nuclear power station of the recent decision to charge interest, including interest during construction, at the new rate of 10 per cent.

Mr. Ross

The increase in the test discount rate to be used by the nationalised industries for appraisal of future investment projects has no effect on the costs of existing stations or of stations under construction.
