HC Deb 19 November 1986 vol 105 c233W
Mr. McCrindle

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what consideration is being given to the development of new coal-fired power stations; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Goodlad

I understand that the CEGB is considering the possibility of building new coal-fired stations, but my right hon. Friend has received no application to construct new power stations apart from that for Sizewell B.
