Proceeding contribution from Mike Weatherley (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 18 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on National Policy Statements (Energy).
National Policy Statements (Energy)
No, I have only got another minute. [[Hon. Members: ““You would get an extra minute.””] I know, but it is fairer to other people if I keep going. If a nuclear disaster did happen, the consequences would be immense. The question I ask today is whether it is really worth the risk. We must balance slightly cheaper electricity against an unknown cost that would dwarf any expenditure contingency plans. I say that it is not worth it and we should not take the risk. I urge the Government to reconsider their nuclear programme.
