HC Deb 14 June 1991 vol 192 c719W
Mr. Barron

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what discussions have been held with Her Majesty's inspectorate of pollution about the use of orimulsion in Richborough and Ince power stations; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Baldry

Proposals by PowerGen to burn the fuel orimulsion at Richborough and Ince power stations were discussed in considerable detail with Her Majesty's inspectorate of pollution to ensure that releases of pollutants to the atmosphere were kept within limits approved by the inspectorate. In both cases the requirements laid down by the inspectorate have been set out in registration certificates which have been placed on public registers. These registers are available for inspection by any member of the general public at the relevant HMIP and local authority offices.
