	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/06/2015 answer text <p>The UK welcomes high quality overseas investment in the UK and the safe and economic development of nuclear power. It is the responsibility of the developers of new nuclear power stations to source components for the plant, in line with the UK’s robust nuclear regulatory regime. This regime requires the highest standards in safety and security to be met by developers and their technology providers. Quality assurance of all components for a nuclear power station are included within this regime.</p><p>The Government has made its policy clear in discussion with developers, that UK content to the supply chain should be maximised and is hence working closely with them to identify further UK opportunities in support of this. The Government also has supplier development and improvement programmes (Manufacturing Advisory Service (MAS) and Fit for Nuclear (F4N)) in place to help the UK supply chain better position itself to bid for these opportunities.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom grouped question UIN 1888 question first answered 16/06/2015 11:19:13 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom
