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)

My Lords, in addition to requesting the Minister's support in gaining a debate on the Science and Technology Committee's report on nuclear waste, I should like to make a very brief point relating to the timescale beyond that of the statements. I would like to ensure through the Minister that the Government will continue to support our commitment to fusion energy, particularly in light of the fact that the new, hybrid technologies that may combine fusion with fission may offer practical solutions to a much shorter timescale than that for pure fusion.
