HC Deb 25 June 1979 vol 969 cc35-6W
Mr. Rippon

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will take steps to ensure that the promised public inquiry into the merits of the fast breeder reactor is conducted by a planning inquiry commission, and, if not, what form of public inquiry he proposes.

Mr. Heselline

Until there are definite proposals from the nuclear and electricity supply industries for such a reactor it is not possible to be precise about the appropriate form of inquiry but it will certainly be full and thorough.
