Speaking in the House of Lords on 22 January 2025

Debate

Small Modular Nuclear Reactors

Contribution

My Lords, I refer to my interests in the register. Existing civil nuclear power stations are protected by the Civil Nuclear Constabulary, which is, of course, wholly armed. What consideration has been given to who will protect and police modular nuclear reactors? Will it be the Civil Nuclear Constabulary, which would mean covering far more sites than it currently does, or will it be the other police forces? What discussions has the Minister had with his colleagues at the Home Office?
