HC Deb 27 October 1975 vol 898 c391W
Mr. Macfarlane

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he considers that all potential for additional hydroelectric power sources is now exhausted.

Mr. William Ross

In present circumstances there is no potential for the further economic development of conventional hydro-electric schemes in Scotland. Pumped storage schemes will, however, be developed as required to meet future electricity needs.
