Proceeding contribution from Lord Judd (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 9 March 2010. It occurred during Debate on Energy: Draft National Policy Statement for Nuclear Power Generation (EN-6).


Energy: Draft National Policy Statement for Nuclear Power Generation (EN-6)

The noble Baroness has argued very powerfully about the environmental anxieties relating to Dungeness. The noble Lord, Lord Chorley, argued equally tellingly and vehemently about the rich inheritance—in character and scenically—of the Cumbrian coast and the national park. Does the noble Baroness not agree that it is essential that we do not get into a ding-dong about this bit of scenic inheritance or that bit of environmental inheritance but that we need a strong, powerful injunction from the Government that, in all that is done, environmental considerations in all their forms must be given priority in finding the right solutions?
