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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, with reference to the policy paper entitled The Ten Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution, published on 18 November 2020, how many jobs have been created in nuclear power since the publication of the plan.

Since the publication of the Ten Point Plan, this Government has been in constructive negotiations on the Sizewell C project which is likely to support 10,000 jobs at peak construction. In addition, the British Energy Security Strategy announced an aim for up to 24GW of nuclear capacity by 2050, which will create highly skilled jobs at a local, regional, and national level.
