HC Deb 07 November 1989 vol 159 c511W
Mr. Flynn

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy what studies he has undertaken into the financial viability of the pressurised water reactor programme announced by his predecessor.

Mr. Michael Spicer

The financial viability of new power station projects is a matter for the body concerned. The CEGB presented evidence to the Hinkley C inquiry on the comparison between the costs of a PWR and fossil-fuelled generation.
