§ 28. Mr. Edwin Wainwrightasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will now give a firm date when construction will commence on the Drax B power station; and if he will also give an assurance that it will be a coal-fired power station.
§ Mr. EmeryI cannot say when Drax B will be built, because the Central Electricity Generating Board has not sought investment approval for it, but if it is built it will burn coal.
