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


Energy Bill

The two most important requirements are security of supply, and for energy to be low in carbon emissions. Security of supply can be guaranteed only by diversity, which has two aspects—diversity of the type of energy source used, and of its point of supply. We must meet those criteria, which means that nuclear must inevitably have an important role in meeting our energy needs.
