Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what steps his Department has taken to respond to concerns raised by non-governmental organisations (NGOs) at the NGO stakeholder forum meetings on new build nuclear reactors and nuclear waste management in (a) February and (b) June 2014.

Officials from the Department meet regularly with Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) to discuss a range of issues on developing nuclear policy that the DECC nuclear NGO Forum decides are germane to its task.

A record of concerns raised, agreed actions and progress against actions for the DECC nuclear NGO Forum meetings are set out in the minutes of meetings which can be found at the following link:
