§ Mr. Simon Hughesasked the Secretary of State for Energy, further to his reply to the hon. Member for Brigg and Cleethorpes (Mr. Brown) on 8 December, Official Report, column 6, whether any investment approval given to the Central Electricity Generating Board since 1979 has included provision for payments of compensation or for the purchase of residential property beyond that required for operational purposes; and if he will make it his policy to require separate identification of any such costs in considering whether to give investment approval for a new development; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. GoodladSuch payments would be a matter for the Central Electricity Generating Board and I would not expect them to be separately identified in any investment approval.
