Mr Douglas Alexander

Labour (Co-op) — Lothian East

Speaking in the House of Commons on 26 November 2025

Debate

New Nuclear Sites

Contribution

I find myself in agreement with my hon. Friend. This is not just an anti-jobs measure by the Scottish Government; I would argue that it is an anti-science measure. Let us remember that nuclear power is carbon free. Given the climate change challenge we face, why would we want to resist a technology that can provide reliable, safe and cheap carbon-free energy for decades to come?
