HC Deb 11 December 1997 vol 302 c673W
Mrs. Gillan

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what estimates have been made of the employment consequences for the gas industry of the moratorium on gas-fired power stations; [19989]

(2) what estimate she has made of the total investment which has been frozen by the moratorium on assents for gas-fired power stations. [19991]

Mr. Battle

[holding answer 9 December 1997]: It is not possible to make such an estimate. Assessing the impact on those associated with gas fired generation must await the outcome of the Review.
