Proceeding contribution from Lord Redwood (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 30 April 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Energy Bill.


Energy Bill

Does my hon. Friend share my concern that the existing range of nuclear power stations that generate base load electricity are ageing very rapidly and that we need to know what the replacements, of whatever type, will be? We need to be further down the track of granting permissions so that we can be sure that the new stations' building will be completed before the existing ones have to be retired.
