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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what steps his Department plans to take to ensure that the Transport Review Group proposed by EDF for the development of Sizewell C nuclear power station has permanent and wider community representation in addition to drawing on the involvement of East Suffolk Council and Suffolk County Council.

Interested parties may wish to make representations about the composition of the Transport Review Group during the examination of the application for development consent for the Sizewell C nuclear power station. As that matter may form part of the examination and my Rt. Hon. Friend the Secretary of State’s consideration of that application, we are not able to comment further about the composition of that group.
