Lord Vallance of Balham (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 27 November 2025

Debate

Nuclear Regulatory Taskforce Review

Contribution

I could not agree more about the urgency. We have a very big task, both with disposal of existing stores and with getting new nuclear moving. I had a meeting just yesterday discussing the geological disposal facility, what the options are and what is required in order to progress that. There is a very big challenge in making sure that we get this right. It is not going to happen quickly. The storage problem is one that is going to take a very long time to get right.
