Proceeding contribution from Jamie Reed (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 22 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Energy Bill.


Energy Bill

As a good Methodist, I shall refuse the opportunity to bet. My hon. Friend mentioned the economic estimates done by a German economist on the amount of money spent on nuclear technology and nuclear research and development. Are we talking principally about the civil nuclear sector? Is the military nuclear sector also included? He also mentioned the IAEA. It does not exist to promote the nuclear industry; it exists to give it some kind of international regulatory framework.
