Proceeding contribution from Ed Miliband (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 9 November 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Energy National Policy Statements.


Energy National Policy Statements

No, it is not. I said earlier that we were benefiting from the fact that other countries are constructing and using power plants—in the case of both Westinghouse and AREVA—before they are constructed here. That and the generic design assessment represent precisely the advantage that we in this country have of being able to get the design right, so that we can stick to the timetable and avoid the cost overruns that would otherwise result.
