§ Mr. Skeetasked the Secretary of State for Employment for how many and which sites in England and Wales the Central Electricity Generating Board has applied for a site licence under the Nuclear Installations Act 1965 covering projected nuclear power stations.
§ Mr. EadieI have been asked to reply.
The Central Electricity Generating Board has applied for nuclear site licences for three projected nuclear power stations. The sites are at Dungeness, Kent, Portskewett, Gwent and Sizewell, Suffolk. Current licences for Heysham, Lancs., and Sizewell allow for additional stations of the advanced gas cooled reactor type but construction may not be started without the consent of the Health and Safety Executive.
