Swansea Tidal Lagoon: Hendry Review

Baroness Finlay of Llandaff Excerpts

Tuesday 1st May 2018 Lords Chamber

[Lord Henley]

My Lords, I note what my noble friend says and the feelings of the House. As I said, the Government should not be rushed into an answer but I will make sure that my right honourable friend is fully aware of the concerns that have been raised.

[Baroness Finlay of Llandaff (CB)]

Have the Government compared the risk to the public health of the type of lagoon and pilot project as has been proposed with the long-term risk of a nuclear power plant and all the potential dangers from it? In terms of value for money and the environment, the public health risk must also be assessed.

[Lord Henley]

I do not think that I can take this much further but I note what the noble Baroness has to say.
