Rt Hon Sir John Whittingdale OBE MP

Member of Parliament for Maldon

Nuclear Energy Bill, Bradwell B Nuclear Power Station.

I stood in Parliament yesterday to speak about my support for the possibility of building a new nuclear power station in Bradwell on Sea, in my constituency.

I remain a strong supporter of nuclear power, and the fact that Bradwell successfully hosted a nuclear power station for 40 years—Bradwell A—from which I saw the benefits it brought to the local community, means that I would be positive about the possibility of Bradwell B, whoever designs and owns it.
