HC Deb 21 June 1973 vol 858 cc204-5W
Mr. Whitehead

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what were the criteria used by the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board in evaluating tenders for the contract at the new Peterhead power station; whether the tender chosen wag the lowest originally submitted; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

The placing of the several contracts for this station, as of all other contracts, is a matter for the board's own judgment.
