Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 19 January 2026

Debate

High Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactors

Contribution

My Lords, perhaps in contrast to my noble friend, I congratulate the Government on the final investment decision on Sizewell C and the SMR programme by Rolls-Royce at Wylfa. This is the foundation for a fantastic new nuclear industry in the UK. But does he agree that in welcoming private-sector investment, we need to look at siting policy and making it more flexible, as the recent taskforce recommended?
