HC Deb 05 April 1976 vol 909 c91W
Mr. Gordon Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will now consider providing finance to enable development of district heating from Pinkston power station.

Mr. William Ross

As the hon. Member will be aware, the South of Scotland Electricity Board recently carried out a detailed study of the feasibility of district heating based on Pinkston Power Station. The Board has now published the results of the study and intends to issue a report within the next few weeks. This report will be carefully considered by the Government.
