Will the Secretary of State consult the devolved regions on the roll-out of small modular reactors, so that all the consumer and job opportunity benefits can be shared right across the whole United Kingdom?

The hon. Gentleman makes a really important point. I am happy to give that undertaking. We want to see the opportunities around SMRs throughout the United Kingdom. I am happy to discuss that with him.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what share of the UK's energy requirement does he estimate will be met through Advanced Modular Reactors by 2036.

HMG believes advanced nuclear technologies, including Advanced Modular Reactors (AMRs), could play an important role as a low-carbon energy source that would support a secure, affordable decarbonised energy system. AMRs have the potential to be less capital expensive to build than traditional nuclear power plants, because of their smaller size, factory-based modular build, and greater flexibility in deployment. We are actively progressing the deployment of advanced nuclear projects through a clear policy framework, including both Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and Advanced Modular Reactors (AMRs). The newly published Framework lays out pathways for privately led advanced nuclear projects to be brought forward in the UK.
The Secretary of State outlined the progress being made on small modular nuclear reactors. Can he provide an estimate of how many there might be within 10 years?

Great British Nuclear will be launched later in July. We will also be launching the draw-down selection process for which technologies we will invest in and support. I would be delighted to speak to the hon. Gentleman in more detail about that progress moving forward.
