answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/10/2021 answer text <p>The construction of Hinkley Point C shows that new gigawatt nuclear power stations can provide economic benefits to their local area, as well as to regions across the UK through the supply chain. EDF have reported that £3.5 billion has been spent with companies in the South-West during the construction period, with Hinkley Point C creating 12,786 job opportunities and 787 apprentices trained to date. The government expects future larger scale nuclear new build project to have similar benefits to Hinkley Point C, and we have committed to at least one more gigawatt power plant during this Parliament, subject to clear value for money for both consumers and taxpayers and all relevant approvals.</p> answering member constituency Chelsea and Fulham answering member printed Greg Hands question first answered 25/10/2021 16:33:15 answering member 1526 label Biography information for Greg Hands

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/10/2021 answer text <p>The Government has been clear that it wants more new nuclear power. Our Net Zero Strategy confirms plans for at least one large-scale nuclear project brought to the point of Final Investment Decision by the end of this Parliament, subject to clear value for money and all relevant approvals. Any large-scale nuclear new build project would be expected to offer similar opportunities for the supply chain as at Hinkley Point C.</p> answering member constituency Chelsea and Fulham answering member printed Greg Hands question first answered 26/10/2021 09:52:27 answering member 1526 label Biography information for Greg Hands
