§ Mr. DobsonTo ask the President of the Board of Trade what is his Department's estimate of the installed capacity of operational nuclear power stations in England and Wales in each year from 1994 to the year 2000.
§ Mr. Eggar[holding answer 18 May 1992]: The principal operator of nuclear capacity in England and Wales is Nuclear Power plc. Decisions regarding nuclear capacity are mainly a commercial matter for the company. Nuclear Electric will operate its existing portfolio of nuclear stations as long as it is safe and economic to do so.
