HC Deb 25 January 1989 vol 145 c620W
Mr. Flynn

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy what is his latest estimate of the cost of the capital investment programme to replace old electricity generating plant, for the new power generation and national power companies in Wales and England.

Mr. Michael Spicer

The cost of investment to replace old electricity generating plant will depend on a number of factors including when the plant is retired and what type of equipment is chosen by the CEGB's successor companies and their competitors to replace it.
