HC Deb 15 June 1971 vol 819 cc76-7W

Mr. J. H. Osborn

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT a comparison of present estimates of generating costs for the proposed nuclear station at Haysham and for the proposed oil-fired station at the Isle of Grain in identical form to the Table which appears in the report of the Select Committee on Science and Technology, Session 1966–67, Appendix 11, page 392, and stating how the figures given would be affected if both stations had the same output.

Mr. Ridley

The Appendix was part of evidence supplied by the Central Electricity Generating Board and I am asking the Chairman to write to my hon. Friend.
