HC Deb 27 October 1971 vol 823 c345W
Mr. James Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will approve immediately an early start for the proposed nuclear power station in Scotland because of the high unemployment in the construction industry; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

I cannot give approval until the type of station has been chosen and the necessary statutory procedures have subsequently been completed. Studies leading to the important question of the choice of station have been taking place and will be completed as soon as possible.
