Nuclear Power

Debate between Greg Clark and David Morris

Monday 4th June 2018 Commons Chamber

[Greg Clark]

We made a commitment that the strike price agreed for Hinkley would be the high-water mark for new nuclear, and I note my hon. Friend’s recommendation that that apply more generally.

[David Morris (Morecambe and Lunesdale) (Con)]

In my constituency, we have two nuclear power stations, which is welcome news for my constituents, but we need a third. We have the site—the seventh site—and I could line up five developers under this proposal. Would the Secretary of State like to meet to discuss this further?

[Greg Clark]

I am happy to do that. I fondly remember a visit I made to a nuclear power station in my hon. Friend’s constituency some years ago. Perhaps he could bring me up to date with developments since.
