Poulter – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Energy and Climate Change
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Poulter on 2016-03-08.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, whether the building of the proposed Sizewell C nuclear plant is contingent on future decisions on the Hinkley Point C plant.
Andrea Leadsom
No application for development consent to build a new nuclear power station at Sizewell has yet been made. EDF have completed the first stage of local public consultation which is necessary before an application for development consent can be made, and have said they will make available more information on the next consultation stage once they have made a final investment decision on Hinkley.
