Proceeding contribution from Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (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 imperative reasons of overriding public interest case did not extend to Dungeness due to the alternatives available; in other words, the 10 sites listed in the draft nuclear NPS. The judgment was made that development of the other 10 sites would better protect the integrity of the Natura 2000 network of European sites.
