<p>As announced in my rt. hon. Friend the Secretary of State’s statement to Parliament
on 4th June 2018, the Government has decided to enter into negotiations with Hitachi
over the Wylfa Newydd new nuclear project. No final decision has yet been taken to
proceed with the project.</p><p> </p><p>The Government published a value for money
assessment for Hinkley Point C at the time of the deal being signed and will carry
out a value for money assessment for any future new nuclear project before a final
deal is agreed.</p><p> </p><p>As the Government sent out in its response to the Public
Accounts Committee inquiry into Hinkley Point C on 25<sup>th</sup> January 2018, a
review of the strategic case for new nuclear would form a key part of the value for
money case for any proposed new nuclear project (as it was for Hinkley Point C). This
would include a comparison across different technologies.</p>
