I am pleased with this recognition that new nuclear build is not a solution, because the estimates for cleaning up nuclear waste have, so far, reached £160 billion, which is the equivalent of a one-off nuclear tax of £3,000 for every person aged over 16 in the UK. Even if we built 10 new nuclear reactors, nuclear power would cut emissions by only 4 per cent, and that would be some time after 2025. Minister, what representations are you making to your Westminster colleagues to abandon their plans for new nuclear power, which continues to distort the energy debate and is leaving Britain without any credible plans to meet its future energy needs?
