Clause 10 - Supplemental functions
Energy Bill [Lords]
5:15 pm
Mr Michael Weir (Spokesperson (Environment & Food; Health; Rural Affairs; Trade & Industry); Angus, Scottish National Party)
I take that stricture on board, Mr. O'Brien.
To answer the point from the hon. Member for South-West Hertfordshire, existing nuclear power stations went through a process of approval, but that did not stop British Energy going bust at the end of the day. He may say that it is unlikely, but it could happen; it could be avoided by amending the Bill.
