HC Deb 20 December 1995 vol 268 cc1255-6W
Mr. Battle

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what were, in 1995 prices, the construction costs of each of the advanced gas-cooled reactor nuclear power stations currently scheduled for privatisation. [7060]

Mr. Lang

I refer the hon. Member to the notes on tangible fixed assets on pages 55 and 65 of the report and accounts of Nuclear Electric 1994–95 and pages 49 and 56 of the report and accounts of Scottish Nuclear 1994–95, copies of which are available in the Library of the House.

Mr. Battle

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what has been the amount of the nuclear levy spent on the AGR stations currently scheduled for privatisation for each year of operation. [7059]

Mr. Eggar

Income from the fossil fuel levy forms part of Nuclear Electric's total income; the uses to which this income has been put are a commercial matter for the company.
