HC Deb 07 March 1973 vol 852 cc135-6W
Dr. Dickson Mabon

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how much public money has been made available to the Hunterston Development Company Ltd. in support of feasibility and other studies; and what estimate of further expenditure has been made.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

I have agreed to pay a grant of two-thirds of the cost of the investigation, subject to a maximum of £80,000. The remainder of the money comes from private sources. I have not been asked for any further contribution to studies of Hunterston.
