Proceeding contribution from Malcolm Wicks (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 10 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Climate Change and Sustainable Energy Bill.


Climate Change and Sustainable Energy Bill

The concept of a millennium has been mentioned, and we have used up a proportion of one this morning. I will not enter into a debate about nuclear energy. New clause 3 mentions nuclear energy, but as Madam Deputy Speaker has said, this is not an opportunity to discuss nuclear energy policy. The Bill is about microgeneration and micro-power, and the concept of a micro-nuclear generator suitable for the patio is still a glimmer in the eye of the maddest of mad nuclear scientists. Nuclear power is not directly relevant to today’s deliberations.
