HC Deb 20 July 1990 vol 176 cc760-1W
Mr. Dobson

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy if he will publish the report of the Hinkley Point C inquiry before he announces his decision and before the House rises for the summer Adjournment.

Mr. Wakeham

[pursuant to his reply 2 July 1990, c. 431]: I am now in a position to inform the House that I shall not be able to announce my decision regarding Nuclear Electric's application before the House rises for the summer Adjournment. As I have previously indicated it is my intention to publish my decision and the inspector's report simultaneously in the late summer.

I shall be arranging for copies of both my decision letter and of the report to be placed in the Libraries of the House. Copies of my decision letter and the inspector's conclusions and recommendations will be available in the Vote Office.
