Proceeding contribution from Martin Horwood (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 22 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Energy Bill.


Energy Bill

I am confused by the hon. Gentleman's position. He rightly argues that there are enormous problems with disposing of nuclear waste and that disposal of the previous generation has not yet been resolved. However, is it the Conservative party's position that, if the economics can be made to work, it is prepared to support nuclear power? If so, where will it put the waste?
