Proceeding contribution from Daniel Byles (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 1 December 2010. It occurred during Debate on National Policy Statements.

National Policy Statements

To come back to the future of nuclear power in the UK and the comments made by my hon. Friend the Member for Dover (Charlie Elphicke) about keeping the lights on, Germany is now considering extending the lives of its reactors by up to 12 years. I am a great supporter of the idea that we need to replace our nuclear reactors with new nuclear reactors, but is there any scope in the Department's plan to extend the lives of our current reactors to try to bridge that gap?
