13. What recent assessment she has made of the future of the nuclear industry in Wales.
Mrs Gillan
As my hon. Friend knows, this Government have said that nuclear could be part of the future energy mix, and he will know personally of my attitude towards Wylfa continuing as a nuclear power station, with new generation at the site.
Graham Evans
Does the Secretary of State agree that new power plants in Wales are good news for energy security, industry and job creation?
Mrs Gillan
That is an easy question for me to answer. I welcome the work that has been done to enable Wylfa to continue generating low-carbon electricity for a further two years, and I am delighted that the site has been chosen as a future new site for generation. [Interruption.]
