§ Mr. David PorterTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what representations he has had recently on the case for a public inquiry into the Central Electricity Generating Board proposal to build Sizewell C in Suffolk; and whether he now intends to order such an inquiry.
§ Mrs. Virginia BottomleyMy right hon. Friend has received one letter from a member of the public which was forwarded to the Department of Energy for a reply. As far as a public inquiry is concerned, I refer my hon. Friend to the answer given earlier today by my hon. Friend the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Energy.
