answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2015 answer text <p>The agreements announced on 21 October between EdF and CGN show the commitment of all sides to the Project - EDF has confirmed it will take a 66.5% stake in Hinkley with China General Nuclear (CGN) taking 33.5 per cent, demonstrating a clear commitment from both parties. The Government and EDF have finalised the Contract for Difference and ancillary documentation which offers increased price certainty for the electricity produced from Hinkley Point C. The Funded Decommissioning Programme has been approved and will make sure that the tax payer doesn’t pick up the cost of decommissioning the plant in the future. My rt. hon. Friend the Secretary of State will take her final decision on the Contract for Difference when EDF and CGN have signed the full investment documentation. I refer the hon. Member to the Written Ministerial Statement made by the Secretary of State on 21 October, Official Report, Column 45WS:</p><br /><p><a href="http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201516/cmhansrd/cm151021/wmstext/151021m0001.htm#15102155000002" target="_blank">http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201516/cmhansrd/cm151021/wmstext/151021m0001.htm#15102155000002</a>.</p><br /> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 05/11/2015 15:32:19 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2015 answer text <p>The Department for Energy and Climate Change has been centrally involved with the deal for Hinkley Point C throughout. Officials from the Department were in regular contact with both EdF and the Chinese investors in the run-up to the announcement on 21 October that they had reached a Strategic Investment Agreement. However, these negotiations are a commercial matter for the parties involved. We are confident that mechanisms are in place to ensure Chinese investment does not pose a threat to national security. I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave him on 2<sup>nd</sup> November 2015 to Question 13409:</p><br /><p><a href="http://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-question/Commons/2015-10-26/13409/" target="_blank">http://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-question/Commons/2015-10-26/13409/</a></p><br /><p>The Government welcomes investment and participation from Chinese companies in the Hinkley Point C project and progressive involvement more generally in the UK’s new build nuclear energy programme, provided they meet the stringent requirements of the UK’s regulators. My rt. hon. Friend the Secretary of State will take her final decision on the Contract for Difference when EDF and CGN have signed the full investment documentation.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 05/11/2015 15:33:10 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom
