Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of recommendations 11 and 12 of the Nuclear Regulatory Review on the level playing field provisions in the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement.

We will present a full government response and implementation plan by end of February 2026, taking account of our national security considerations, and planning, environmental and court processes. The Review acknowledges that when reviewing the recommendations in detail and in considering implementation, we may conclude that some recommended outcomes could be better achieved by alternative means, or that delivery timescales must necessarily be adjusted.
