HC Deb 22 March 1971 vol 814 c28W
Mr. John Stradling Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry when the decision will be announced on the Central Electricity Generating Board's proposal to build a nuclear power station at Portskewett, near Chepstow.

Mr. Ridley

Not for some months; arrangements are being made for a hearing in late June to hear objections to the proposal and to the C.E.G.B.'s compulsory purchase order for part of the site. A decision will be made when the Inspector's report of the hearing and his recommendations have been considered.
