HC Deb 04 July 1983 vol 45 c20W
27. Mr. Colvin

asked the Secretary of State for Energy whether he has agreed the number of power stations required to serve the United Kingdom; and if he has identified the sites.

Mr. Giles Shaw

My Department discusses with the CEGB the generating capacity planned by the board to meet future requirements in England and Wales. Selections of sites for power stations is a matter for the board. Power stations in Scotland are a matter for the Secretary of State for Scotland.
