To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, with reference to Great British Energy – Nuclear's Technical Advice on Potential Future Nuclear Power Plant Siting in Scotland report, what discussions he has had with the Scottish Government on supporting the potential development of new nuclear at Dounreay.

Ministers commissioned GBE N's study of Scotland's potential for new nuclear last autumn.

The study indicates that Scotland has land areas with high potential for future development. We remain open to discussions with the Scottish Government regarding opportunities for new nuclear in Scotland.
