§ Mr. PaiceTo ask the Secretary of State for Energy what reports he has received concerning the relative merits of different desulphurisation methods for power station emissions; and what consideration he has given to the comparative requirements of limestone and subsequent output and disposal of gypsum.
§ Mr. BaldryI am aware of a number of reports about particular methods of power station flue gas desulphurisation. It is for the electricity supply industry to consider the appropriate choice of technology for desulphurisation; and that will be subject to normal planning a ad environmental requirements.
