Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Bill

Proceeding contribution from Iain Wright (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 17 October 2012. It occurred during Debate on bills on Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Bill.

The hon. Gentleman will recall that I mentioned this issue at length in Committee, when he quite rightly probed me on it. I reiterate my answer to the hon. Member for Carmarthen East and Dinefwr (Jonathan Edwards) a few moments ago. There is a conflict here. What is the purpose of the green investment bank: is it to ensure that we have innovative technologies where there is current market failure making it difficult to get investment, or is it to ensure that we do as much as possible to tackle carbon emissions, meet low-carbon targets and so forth? Within that, nuclear could be a source of investment.
