The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what his Department's policy is on the deployment of nuclear technology at Oldbury.

Answered by Michael Shanks

Nuclear can play an important role in helping to achieve energy security and clean power while securing thousands of skilled jobs. As a site which has previously hosted a nuclear power station, and is now owned by Great British Nuclear, Oldbury can play an important role in new nuclear in the UK, and we will set out our plans for the site in due course.
