HC Deb 23 February 1972 vol 831 c301W
45. Mr. Robert Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will now authorise the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board to proceed to implement their plans for a nuclear power station at Stakeness, Banffshire.

Mr. Younger

My right hon. Friend cannot authorise this project until a decision has been reached on the type of station to be built. This decision must be made in the light of the urgent review of nuclear reactor policy which is being conducted by the Government.
