I reassure colleagues that I do not intend to detain the Committee for long. I just want to put on the record that for my first 12 years in this place I represented an operational nuclear power station at Bradwell-on-Sea. In the past 10 years, that power station has been being decommissioned, and that work has just successfully been completed. I pay tribute to all those who worked so hard to achieve that.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

I do not think that power station required a great deal of transfrontier shipment, but there may be cause for that in the future. I remain strongly supportive of\u00a0\u200b<\/span>the Bradwell B project for a new nuclear power station. We have had a bit of a setback in the past few days with the news about the Japanese investment at Wylfa, but as far as I am aware\u2014I went to the China General Nuclear reception a couple of days ago\u2014Bradwell B remains very much on track, so there may be a need for transfrontier shipments there in the future.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

I very much welcome the draft regulations. I just wanted to use this opportunity to say that I remain very supportive of a future generation nuclear programme in the UK.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
