The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what his Department's policy is on the deployment of new nuclear technologies in Scotland.

Answered by Michael Shanks

The UK Government recognises Scotland's significant contributions to British nuclear power and values the expertise and skills within the nuclear industry there. We are aware of the Scottish Government’s approach to nuclear energy, we work productively with them on a range of energy issues and remain open to discussions on deploying new nuclear technologies in Scotland.
