HC Deb 09 March 1987 vol 112 c38W
19. Mr. Rost

asked the Secretary of State for Energy when he expects to make an announcement of his decision on the Layfield report concerning the Sizewell B power station.

Mr. Peter Walker

As soon as I have fully considered all of the issues involved.

24. Mr. Simon Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Energy how many representations he has received from individuals and groups on the report of the inquiry into the Sizewell B pressurised water reactor; what proportion of these support the report; and what proportion do not support the report.

Mr. Peter Walker

I have received around 300 letters since the publication of the report. Most oppose the CEGB's application as it is unlikely that those who agree with the report would bother to write in.
