Proceeding contribution from Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 15 July 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Energy: Low Carbon Transition Plan.

Energy: Low Carbon Transition Plan

My Lords, I am more optimistic than the noble Lord. I chaired a meeting of the Nuclear Development Forum, which brings together many people in the industry. There is a great deal of enthusiasm. I also spoke at a conference run by EDF for potential suppliers within the industry to encourage a UK supply chain. It was attended by 300 to 400 people and there was a great deal of enthusiasm. There is huge potential. We are determined to do everything we can to ensure that we have a strong UK supply industry. This is very important and the Government are by no means complacent.
