Our concern is that the problem of waste should not be dumped on future generations. If there is to be new build, there has to be complete clarity now about the regime, which must include waste. We are concerned that the White Paper suggests that storage above ground might go on for 50 or even 100 years before a decision is taken. When does the Minister think that he will be morally obliged both to describe and implement the regime so that new investors will know exactly what they will have to do?
