Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:
To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to support the Scottish Government to develop new nuclear power stations.
This question was answered on 29th July 2025
Planning policy is devolved to the Scottish Government and they have made it clear they oppose the building of new nuclear power stations.
The UK Government works productively with the Scottish Government on a range of energy issues and we would welcome engagement on new nuclear given the growing interest in the potential for projects in Scotland and the opportunity for jobs and skills across the country, should the position on planning change.
