HC Deb 26 November 1979 vol 974 c428W
28. Mr. Hooley

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what percentage of electricity generated by nuclear power in the past 12 months was produced by the advanced gas-cooled reactor stations; and what percentage of total electricity generation this represents.

Mr. Norman Lamont

I am advised by the Central Electricity Generating Board that 16.5 per cent. of the electricity supplied by the CEGB nuclear power stations in the 12 months to end October 1979 was produced by its AGR station at Hinkley Point. This represented 1.9 per cent. of total electricity supplied by the CEGB in that period. Power stations in Scotland are the responsibility of my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Scotland.
