Question

To ask the Prime Minister, what discussions on nuclear power policy he had with his Austrian counterpart and other representatives of the Austrian government during the European Council meeting in Brussels from 12 to 13 February 2015.

At the European Council on 12 February, during discussions with Chancellor Faymann about the Hinkley Point C nuclear power station, I emphasised the right of all EU Member States to determine their own energy mix, including nuclear, to be able to meet their own future energy needs and climate change targets. I will continue to argue this case robustly.
