Nuclear Power Stations: Migrant Workers

Asked by Nick TimothyConservativeDepartment for Energy Security and Net ZeroTabled Answered 19 December 2024UIN 20338

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what information his Department holds on the number of foreign nationals employed at (a) Sizewell and (b) Hinckley nuclear power station by country of origin in each year from 2010 to 2024.

Answered by Michael Shanks

The department does not collect information on the number of foreign nationals employed on the Hinkley Point C and Sizewell C projects.

Access to the critical systems for both reactors would be restricted to UK nationals only. The nuclear license holder will be obliged to meet security standards as set out by the Regulator.
