Proceeding contribution from Lord Broers (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 13 January 2011. It occurred during Debate on Revised Draft National Policy Statement for Nuclear Power Generation, volumes I and II (EN-6).

Revised Draft National Policy Statement for Nuclear Power Generation, volumes I and II (EN-6)

Would it be possible for me to add a word here about this? There was to be a debate in the House on the report from the Science and Technology Committee this afternoon. Quite appropriately, that debate was abandoned, but I hope that the Minister will support an attempt to conduct that debate in future, because the report has some important recommendations about the role of CoRWM and its relationship with government. I hope that we have that debate, as it would help the noble Lord to understand where we were, at least, on this position of the long timescale for nuclear waste.
