Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Lord Walney and Alan Duncan

Tuesday 21st February 2017 Commons Chamber

[John Woodcock (Barrow and Furness) (Lab/Co-op)]

The announcement by Toshiba last week regarding NuGen will mean that new foreign investment will be required for the Moorside nuclear development. Does this not place a new question mark over the UK’s decision to pull out of Euratom, which will create more instability for the industry?

[Sir Alan Duncan]

We shall remain a full member of Euratom while we remain part of the European Union, and we intend to make sure that all our research into nuclear fusion will continue after we leave.
