HC Deb 11 July 1978 vol 953 c547W
Mr. Gordon Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the estimated cost so far of the breakdown of the Hunterston B reactor.

Mr. Gregor MacKenzie

Through the operation of the arrangements agreed between the Scottish electricity boards for the allocation of generating costs and the agreement for the supply of electricity to the Invergordon smelter, the costs of the Hunterston B outage will be shared between SSEB and NSHEB. I shall ask the chairmen of the boards to write to the hon. Member.
