Nuclear Safeguards Bill

Proceeding contribution from James Heappey (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 16 October 2017. It occurred during Debate on bills on Nuclear Safeguards Bill.

I am absolutely at a lost to understand the SNP’s position on this. We have an excellent relationship with Euratom, which we want, ideally, to continue as an associate member. But, as the hon. Gentleman quite rightly points out, the nuclear industry is very concerned that, if that arrangement turns out not to be possible, we should have some sort of contingency in place to ensure that the industry can continue to operate safely and co-operate internationally. That is exactly what the Bill will do, so I do not understand why he is not welcoming it with open arms.
