HC Deb 03 May 1990 vol 171 cc618-9W
Mr. Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy if he will impose a condition on the burning of Orimulsion or very heavy residual fuel oil in electricity power stations, that flue gas desulphurisation scrubbers must be installed in that power station.

Mr. Baldry

Control of emissions from power stations is a matter for Her Majesty's inspectorate of pollution.

Mr. Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy what approaches he has received about the burning of Orimulsion in oil-burning power stations.

Mr. Baldry

PowerGen advised me earlier this year of its intention to burn Orimulsion at the Ince B power station on a trial basis.
