§ 18. Mr. Roy Hughesasked the Secretary of State for Energy when he last met the chairman of the Central Electricity Generating Board to discuss the ordering of new coal-fired power stations.
§ Mr. GoodladMy right hon. Friend meets the chairman from time to time and they discuss a wide range of issues. The CEGB has stated that it does not intend to order any more stations, either coal-fired or nuclear, until it receives my right hon. Friend's decision on its application to construct a PWR station at Sizewell.
§ 34. Mr. Frank Cookasked the Secretary of State for Energy what steps he is taking to introduce a policy of total openness into the nuclear power industry.
§ Mr. GoodladThe nuclear industry is already very open, and I am encouraging the maximum possible openness especially with regard to incidents with implications for the safety of the public or the work force.
