Nuclear Safeguards Bill

"New clause 1 concerns me, because it seems to me to be a delaying tactic. As I have mentioned, Euratom and the IAEA were really formed in 1957, when Calder Hall was built in my constituency. There are now 70-something businesses operating in the nuclear industry in my constituency alone. …..."

Nuclear Safeguards Bill

"It is not just my constituency, though; this is about the whole country. Today, more than 20% of our electricity is provided by nuclear power stations. The hon. Lady is not quite correct. My memory of the meeting she mentions is that we were told we would have sufficient aspects …..."

Nuclear Safeguards Bill

"The Bill is absolutely essential to the nuclear industry. Without it, after we leave the European Union, our nuclear industry would collapse.

Written Question
Nuclear Power
Wednesday 22nd November 2017

Asked by: Trudy Harrison (Conservative - Copeland)

Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what plans his Department has to provide incentives to suppliers to use small and medium-sized enterprises directly involved in the supply chain for the nuclear industry.

Answered by Lord Harrington of Watford

For future New Nuclear projects, developers will be required to produce Supply Chain Plans. This means developers will need to show evidence that their projects will support growth in the UK supply chain, support the development of competition, and boost innovation and skills. This will provide greater opportunity for SME’s to access contracts for new build projects.

In regards to Nuclear Decommissioning, the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority already uses a range of initiatives to improve the transparency of contract opportunities including:

• simplifying and standardising procurement requirements;

• holding regional and national supplier events to help providers link up; and

• running an SME mentoring scheme.
