Nuclear Power Stations: Construction

(asked on 13th June 2018) - View Source

Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what risk assessment his Department has made of the involvement of foreign companies in the delivery of the UK's new nuclear programme.


This question was answered on 20th June 2018

The Government keeps issues of risk around foreign ownership in the nuclear sector under continuous review. In September 2016 we announced reforms to the ownership and control of critical infrastructure to ensure that the full implications of foreign ownership are scrutinised for the purposes of national security. Secondary legislation to strengthen the Government’s powers to scrutinise mergers and takeovers that may raise national security concerns came into force in June 2018 and we are currently considering responses to our consultation regarding long term reforms.
