Proceeding contribution from Nigel Evans (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 9 July 2009. It occurred during Topical debate on UK Manufacturing.


UK Manufacturing

We are now going to have more nuclear power stations, which I greatly welcome. Does the Minister agree, however, that we have waited too long to make that decision, and that a lot of the skills we need to manufacture our own nuclear plants—[Interruption.] No, I will accept part of the responsibility, but this Government have been in power for a long time—since 1997. Does the Minister agree that if we had been more diligent and made the decision earlier, we would not have to import as much as we will have to simply to be able to construct our new nuclear build?
