Proceeding contribution from Lord Woolmer of Leeds (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 29 March 2010. It occurred during Debate on Draft Overarching National Policy Statement for Energy (EN–1).


Draft Overarching National Policy Statement for Energy (EN–1)

My noble friend’s words might be misinterpreted on nuclear energy. He may have said that applications that took generation up to 25 gigawatts should be considered. I understood the Government’s policy to be that there would be no artificial limits set to nuclear energy so applications for nuclear energy that went beyond that would also be considered. Am I correct in my assumption?
