Proceeding contribution from Albert Owen (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 February 2009. It occurred during Debate on Welsh Affairs.

Welsh Affairs

That is an interesting question, and that is what dismays me. The environmental spokesperson and the chair of Plaid Cymru, speaking about all these national issues on television, said that they would not back a nuclear power station in my constituency. In 2007, the Assembly Member for my constituency stood on a platform and said that he was fully in favour of nuclear power. I find it inconceivable that the leader of a serious political party can say that he is fully in favour of nuclear power while the chair and the environmental spokesperson say that they are against it. Far from being enlightened about the position of the chair and spokesman, the electorate of Ynys Môn are confused by the mixed message, at a time when jobs are at a premium.
