Energy Bill

Proceeding contribution from Caroline Lucas (Green Party) in the House of Commons on Monday, 3 June 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills on Energy Bill.

I reiterate the point that the hon. Lady has just made because the National Audit Office cannot look at the issue at the key point where we need the information. My wider point is this. The Minister keeps saying that nuclear offers value for money, is fair and affordable and so forth, but how can that possibly be the case when this Government envisage locking taxpayers into a 35-year contract to pay around twice the current market price for power, with the money then going to line the coffers of the French nuclear power station operators?
