Proceeding contribution from Lord Broers (Crossbench) 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)
I am not pessimistic, necessarily; I like to think that I am optimistic. What I was trying to say was that we have a strong possibility of recovering our nuclear base. I was trying to ask the Minister to reassure us that the Government were going to support them in doing that. I am very pleased to hear that the noble Lord thinks that we could build plants in even less than 48 months; I look forward to that. I should like him to realise that I am not pessimistic about this—I am optimistic—but the Government will have to do all that they can to help, especially to provide a strong research base.
