Written Question

Hinkley Point C Power Station: Cardiff

Thursday 17th May 2018

Asked by: Stephen Doughty (Labour (Co-op) - Cardiff South and Penarth)

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether (a) he, (b) Ministers and (c) officials of his Department have discussed the relocation of sediment from the Hinkley C project site to Cardiff Grounds with (a) the Welsh Government, (b) EDF and (c) Natural Resources Wales.

Answered by George Eustice

Implementation of the marine licensing regime in England is a function delegated to the Marine Management Organisation (MMO).

The MMO has not engaged in any recent discussions with the Welsh Government, EDF or NRW specifically regarding the relocation of sediment from the Hinkley Point C project to the Cardiff Grounds disposal site. The disposal of sediment at this site is regulated by Natural Resources Wales (NRW). I can confirm however that the Countryside Council for Wales (NRW’s predecessor) and the Welsh Government were consulted on the original marine licence application(s) for Hinkley Point C in 2012.

"My hon. Friend is making some strong points. He spoke about the evidence-free approach being taken in England. Does he agree that the approach being taken in Wales has demonstrated clear evidence that the cull was unnecessary? We have continued to see massive reductions in bovine tuberculosis, much greater than …..."

"It is on facts and evidence. The hon. Gentleman is generous in giving way. Clearly TB is a terrible disease, whether it is in badgers or cattle, and everyone wants to see it reduced. Looking at the evidence of the measures taken in Wales and the much less effective methods …..."

Badger Culling

"The hon. Gentleman is generous. I never suggested that vaccination alone was a solution. The chief veterinary officer for Wales has been clear, and has spoken of a combination of increased testing frequency, improved biosecurity and other cattle control measures, as well as vaccination. There is a huge disparity between …..."

Flooding

"On that point, was my hon. Friend also confused, as I was, by the Prime Minister’s visit to Pembrokeshire, when it was not clear whether the funding that he announced there even applied to Wales? Also, will she join me in commending the work of the Welsh Labour Government in …..."
