The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if he will make an assessment of the potential impact of his policy on decarbonising the grid by 2030 on the cost of constructing Hinkley Point C.

Answered by Michael Shanks

Hinkley Point C is not a government project and therefore construction costs are a matter for EDF and its development partners on the project.
