HC Deb 15 November 1974 vol 881 cc283-4W
Mr. John H. Osborn

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what is his estimate of the electricity generation capacity, allowing for normal breakdown and repair provision, available this winter; how much of this will be respectively coal fired, coal or oil fired, oil fired, and generated by hydro or nuclear sources of energy; and if he estimates that there will be enough capacity to meet potential maximum demand.

Mr. Eadie

This is a matter for the electricity generating authorities. I am asking the Chairman of the Central Electricity Generating Board to write to the hon. Member.
