Proceeding contribution from Bishop of Bath and Wells (Bishops (affiliation)) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 18 May 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Weightman Report.
Weightman Report
My Lords, is the Minister aware that in 1706, following an earthquake off the south coast of Ireland, a tsunami flooded the lower reaches of the Severn and the Somerset levels, which are adjacent to the Hinkley Point nuclear power station and, indeed, to the planned further nuclear stations on that site? Cam the Minister assure us that, in spite of everything that has been said about nuclear safety in this country, we will not assume that such an event could not take place again, and that developments on that site will be secure from such accidents?
