Dr Andrew Murrison

Conservative — South West Wiltshire

Speaking in the House of Commons on 10 June 2025

Debate

Nuclear Power: Investment

Contribution

The announcement today is good news as far as it goes, but the baseload that it will provide will not be on tap for many years to come. How does the Secretary of State propose to fill that gap? Will he now look again at the UK-Morocco power project, which needs a decision soon and could be delivering electrons by the turn of the decade? Does the announcement today affect the likely contract for difference and strike prices eventually reached with the proposed operator?
