answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/01/2019 answer text <p>I have had regular discussions with my ministerial colleagues, Hitachi, Horizon Nuclear Power and the Japanese Government regarding the proposed Wylfa Newydd power plant, as well as visiting senior executives of Hitachi in Tokyo in August 2017. I recently met with the Japanese Prime Minister and representatives of Hitachi at Downing Street last week. We fully recognise that Hitachi’s decision will be a disappointment to people in Anglesey and North Wales, especially given the efforts of many stakeholders to support this project. The UK Government continues to discuss options for Hitachi and others to take the project forward.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Vale of Glamorgan answering member printed Alun Cairns question first answered 21/01/2019 10:27:21 answering member 4086 label Biography information for Alun Cairns
