§ Mr. DobsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Energy which stations have been fitted with low-sulphur electrostatic precipitators and for what reasons.
§ Mr. WakehamI am advised that all National Power and PowerGen coal fired power stations have electrostatic precipitators fitted which enable their plant to burn a proportion of low-sulphur coal.
The CEGB have been working for many years with Her Majesty's inspectorate of pollution on a programme to enhance the performance of their precipitators. This programme is being continued by National Power and PowerGen.
