HC Deb 23 January 1997 vol 288 c727W
Mr. Robert McCartney

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will make it his policy to require that the Director General of Electricity Supply be consulted about controls on power station emissions. [12015]

Mr. Moss

Following a number of representations, I am considering this and other suggestions which have been put to me to meet concerns about the implications for electricity prices in Northern Ireland arising from enactment of the draft Industrial Pollution Control (Northern Ireland) Order. I shall write to the hon. and learned Gentleman when this work has been completed.
