Nuclear Regulatory Review
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he is taking to ensure that the implementation of the the recommendations of the 2025 Nuclear Regulatory Review complies with the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017.
Answered by Michael Shanks
The Taskforce recommendations on the environment seek to deliver better environmental outcomes compared with the existing regime, through a simpler regime which is less burdensome and disruptive for nuclear projects. We will present a full implementation plan shortly, taking account of our international obligations, national security considerations, and planning, environmental and court processes.
