Energy: Nuclear Industry

Question
My Lords, will the Government make sure that the nuclear plants are not only delivered on time but also at the proper cost—not with the usual 300 per cent overruns —and that they produce power economically?
Answer

My Lords, I am pleased to say that that will be a risk carried by the private sector.
