HC Deb 13 November 1989 vol 160 c106W
Mr. Dobson

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy what is his current estimate of the cost of flue gas desulphurisation of each 2000 MW fossil-fuel-fired station.

Mr. Wakeham

The precise financial commitment to flue gas desulphurisation will be a commercial matter for the generating companies themselves.

66. Mr. Butler

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy what is the financial commitment of PowerGen to flue gas desulphurisation; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Michael Spicer

PowerGen will have to comply with the limits set out in the large combustion plant directive agreed in 1988. The precise financial commitment to flue gas desulphurisation will be a commercial matter for the company itself.
