Nuclear Power: Procurement

Lord Foulkes of Cumnock Excerpts

Monday 11th November 2013 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Verma]

My Lords, it is for operators to decide on the designs and it is for the Government then to approve them, as long as the regulators are satisfied.

[Lord Foulkes of Cumnock (Lab)]

My Lords, the Minister has said that 57% will be sourced in the United Kingdom. Will she tell the House how much of that will be sourced in Scotland? If she cannot do that now, could she write to me giving me some indication?

[Baroness Verma]

My Lords, the noble Lord knows that I will not be able to answer that at this moment. It would be better for me to take the question away.
