THE company in charge of Didcot Power Station has still not given details of when the remaining half of a boiler house will be demolished.

RWE Power said there was no update on its proceedings for blowing up the remaining structure at Didcot A power station.

Half of the boiler house at Didcot A collapsed killing one man and trapping three underneath while being prepared for demolition in February.

More than four months on, the bodies of demolition workers Ken Cresswell, 57, John Shaw 61, from Rotherham and Chris Huxtable, 34, from Swansea are yet to be recovered.

Last week the Oxford Mail revealed that two ministers had written a letter to RWE warning them they could be hauled before Parliament if more delays ensued.

Government ministers Mike Penning and Justin Tomlinson said there were "bound to be demands for an explanation" if RWE Power took too long in recovering the victims from the rubble.

They also questioned as to how "one of Europe's leading power companies" has been "unable to marshal its expertise and resources to deliver a timely demolition plan".

The ministers said they understood the remaining structure could be demolished by July 10, but RWE said a decision had not been made on the date.

The firm said yesterday when a date had been decided, the families of the victims would be informed first, and then a statement issued.

Mr Penning, Minister for Criminal Justice and Victims, declined to comment to the Oxford Mail's questions on the letter to the company.
