Energy: Nuclear Power

Lord Taverne Excerpts

Thursday 3rd June 2010 Lords Chamber

[Lord Marland]

The very short answer is: yes, there is. The great thing about the development of nuclear power stations is that it will create much-needed jobs in these difficult times.

[Lord Taverne]

My Lords, does the Minister recognise that there are several of us on these Benches in this House who do support the nuclear programme and who have no regrets about the concessions made by the Liberal Democrats’ negotiators in the coalition agreement?

[Lord Marland]

I thank the noble Lord very much. That is very reassuring.
