Nuclear Industry

I accept that and take the hon. Gentleman’s clarification in the best spirit. The point is that there is heavy state involvement in the company; it has built on that and used it to move into other markets, including, in a big way, Britain. I raise the issue now because many great issues are under discussion in France—social policy, economic policy, personalities—but the one issue that never gets discussed is the nuclear issue. I shall give way for the last time, because I am trying to develop an argument.
