Proceeding contribution from Caroline Lucas (Green Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 12 July 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Electricity Market Reform.


Electricity Market Reform

Given that electricity market reform will lead to windfall profits for existing nuclear plant of at least £50 million a year and given the rising concerns about fuel poverty, of which the Secretary of State will be aware, will the Government introduce a windfall tax on nuclear and use the revenue to help those living in fuel poverty?
