Proceeding contribution from Baroness Smith of Basildon (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 17 November 2010. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Justification Decision (Generation of Electricity by the EPR Nuclear Reactor) Regulations 2010.

Justification Decision (Generation of Electricity by the EPR Nuclear Reactor) Regulations 2010

I apologise for intervening again on the noble Lord; he has been generous in giving way yet again. He goes a long way to answering the point. The point I was asking was particularly on the waste disposal area and on the funded decommissioning programme, because no other process of energy generation allows for waste in that way. I was particularly referring to the order and the FDP. It seemed to me that it was tightening up the issues around any subsidy available and all costs would fall on the operator. Has this been discussed with the industry and what is their reaction?
