HC Deb 13 July 1987 vol 119 c339W
40. Mr. Beith

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if he has any plans to introduce new coal-fired power stations; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Michael Spicer

It is for the CEGB to put forward applications for new power stations. I have received no application in respect of a coal-fired station, and it would be inappropriate for me to make a statement.
