HC Deb 07 May 1980 vol 984 cc115-6W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for Energy, in view of the current oil price, if he will recommend to the Central Electricity Generating Board that planned capacity of the Isle of Grain power station should be reduced by completing only three generating units of the five originally contemplated.

Mr. John Moore

This is a matter for the Central Electricity Generating Board. I understand that the board is re-assessing the case for completing the station in the light of present circumstances.
