HC Deb 17 March 1988 vol 129 c640W
Mr. Ronnie Campbell

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy what are the schedules and time scales for building each of the six proposed pressurised water reactors; and where it is proposed to site them.

Mr. Michael Spicer

Consent for the Sizewell B PWR was granted in March 1987. The CEGB applied in August 1987 for consent to construct, a PWR at Hinkley Point C. A public inquiry will be held, following objections from local planning authorities.

No other applications to build nuclear power stations have been received. The timing of applications and the choice of sites are matters for the CEGB.
