Proceeding contribution from Paddy Tipping (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 22 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Energy Bill.
Energy Bill
Of course, I agree. However, the White Paper is uncertain on that point. We need a high and stable price for carbon. The White Paper acknowledges that we do not currently have that, and suggests that the UK should introduce it. It is also clear that the costs of decommissioning have not yet been worked out. As the White Paper acknowledges, unless there is certainty about that, investment will probably not be made in further nuclear plant. There is much to be done. We face an energy crisis in a decade. The time for talking is finished, and the time for producing a framework for investment is now.
