§ Mr. Emeryasked the Secretary of State for Energy whether he will list the fixed costs per kilowatt generated by nuclear power stations and the fuel cost, including reprocessing costs, for the last 10 years and compare these figures with the fixed costs and the fuel costs for electricity generated by coal and with oil.
§ Mr. Eadie, pursuant to his reply [Official Report, 8th March 1978; Vol. 945, c. 674], gave the following further information:
I give below the generation costs in p/kWh of Magnox, coal and oil fired plants up to 12 years old in 1974–75, 1975–76 and 1976–77. These figures are not, of course, a guide to future investment decisions.
