Nuclear, The Right Answer Campaign

EDM number 1948 in 2005-06, proposed by Michael Connarty on 29/03/2006.

That this House notes the lobby of Parliament by 60 representatives of the 60,000 employees from the UK's 12 nuclear electricity generating sites who put the case for Nuclear, The Right Answer; accepts that their sites generate 20 per cent. of the UK's energy needs and that the nuclear contribution has been allowed to fall from 28 per cent. thereby increasing dependence on climate damaging carbon-based fuels; further notes that the UK is failing to meet the target it set for carbon dioxide emission reductions and has been economically damaged by spiralling prices for oil and gas; recognises that increasing nuclear electricity generation could assist in reducing climate change as it does not contribute to carbon dioxide emissions and could assist with problems of security of energy supply in a time of growing energy demand in the UK and worldwide; and calls on the Government to recognise these facts in its Energy Review and to ensure that it puts in place policies that would facilitate a programme of new replacement nuclear power stations as a necessary contribution to the UK's long-term energy requirements.

This motion has been signed by a total of 21 MPs.
