Tuesday 29th September 2020 Commons Chamber

[The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (Nadhim Zahawi)]

The UK is fast becoming an exciting place for developing small and advanced nuclear reactor technologies. That is why we have recently invested over £130 million to support their development. We will shortly be undertaking a comprehensive assessment of siting requirements, including suitability, safety and security.

[Mike Hill]

When will the Government publish their long-awaited energy White Paper and end the uncertainty over the future of our nuclear industry?

We are on record saying that we will publish the energy White Paper this autumn.
