Mr. Edwin Wainwright

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry, owing to the high rates of unemployment existing in the South Yorkshire coal-mining intermediate area, if he will now give approval for the building of a new coal-burning power station in that district.

Sir J. Eden

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given earlier today to a Question by the hon. Member for Loughborough (Mr. Cronin).
