HC Deb 09 June 1980 vol 986 c41W
Mr. Kenneth Carlisle

asked the Secretary of State for Energy when the Sellindge inquiry into the siting of the converter station for the cross-Channel link will be published ; when a decision will be made ; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Norman Lamont

The inspectors' report was submitted in March and is under urgent consideration. The report raises complex environmental and other issues which need to be carefully weighed. A decision on the matter will be taken as soon as possible.
