Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with the manufacturing unions about the role of their members in the work for the small modular nuclear reactors programme.

As announced in November 2025, the Great British Energy – Nuclear (GBE-N) small modular reactor (SMR) project will be sited at Wylfa, on Anglesey in North Wales, supporting up to 3,000 jobs on site at peak construction and thousands more across the supply chain.

Ministers and officials engage regularly with industry and workforce representatives, including trade unions, through existing sector‑wide forums, and will do so regarding the SMR Programme as it progresses. Separately, GBE-N has regular engagement with trade union and nuclear supply chain representatives.
