§ Mr. HancockTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will assess the advantages of selling to the National Grid excess power generated at the New En Route Centre at Swanwick. [38391]
§ Ms Glenda JacksonNo. The New En Route Centre does not normally generate electricity, and relies on power supplied via the National Grid. It does have two standby generators, but for safety reasons these would be used only when the main power supply failed.
