HC Deb 30 January 1974 vol 868 c113W
Mr. Sillars

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how long he has now been considering the planning applications of Chevron and ORSI in respect of proposed developments at Hunterston.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

I am not yet in a position to consider these applications. The current ORSI application was submitted in May 1973, the current Chevron application in July 1973. On 30th May 1973 I gave notice of the criteria for approval of oil refineries at Hunterston. Satisfying these criteria involved consultation between the oil companies and others. I have not yet heard of definitive results from these consultations. In addition, I am awaiting a report on the nuclear safety aspect which is expected soon.
