Sizewell B Power Station

HC Deb 17 January 1972 vol 829 cc8-9W

52. Mr. Palmer

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will now approve the starting of work on the proposed Sizewell B nuclear power station.

Sir J. Eden

It is primarily for the C.E.G.B. to determine construction dates for power stations. It has announced that the Sizewell B order, which was deferred last year because of reduced demand forecasts, will be reviewed in the spring.
