Reform UK — Runcorn and Helsby

Speaking in the House of Commons on 17 November 2025

Debate

Small Modular Nuclear Reactor Power Station: Wylfa

Contribution

Reform UK believes in investing in nuclear energy and welcomes this news for the north-west region, which will bring jobs and growth, including in my constituency. We are told that the Wylfa SMR will start producing power in the mid-2030s, but the procurement process will be done through Great British Energy Nuclear, a publicly owned Government company. How can the Minister assure us that this will not turn into another HS2, with spiralling costs and missed deadlines?
