HC Deb 28 March 2000 vol 347 c108W
Miss McIntosh

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will investigate alternative methods of providing electricity other than the proposed Lackenby-Picton transmission line; and if he will make a statement. [116238]

Mrs. Liddell

The decision on the North Yorkshire power line was made in March 1998. Development consents were granted for this line in 1998 following exhaustive public inquiries and there is no machinery for now reviewing those consents.
