The decision to terminate was entirely separate and independent from the NDA’s decision to settle with Energy Solutions and Bechtel, and was handled as such. This separation was made clear in my Rt Hon Friend the Secretary of State’s remarks to the House on 27 March 2017.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 24/04/2017 14:38:38 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
