Lord Vallance of Balham (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 19 January 2026

Debate

High Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactors

Contribution

My noble friend is right that there are many different technologies coming along, and one of the reasons why we put the advanced nuclear framework together is to make it possible for all those technologies to have a pathway through to production in the UK. This is an important moment, when private-sector leadership of nuclear is real and can happen because of the new designs. We welcome all the different technologies as part of that framework, which, as I say, will be published shortly.
