Hinkley Point C (No. 3)

EDM number 1118 in 2015-16, proposed by Paul Flynn on 22/02/2016.
Categorised under the topic of Nuclear power.

That this House welcomes the view of the Financial Times that Britain is saddled with the worst of all worlds on the Hinkley Point C nuclear project; reinforces the paper's belief that the Government has effectively written the French company, EDF, a long-dated option to sell the UK unproven technology at an extremely generous price; believes the case for halting Hinkley Point C is becoming hard to refute; is alarmed that the EDF has yet to commit itself to the project because of its massive €37 billion debt; agrees with the Financial Times that prolonged delays, multi billion pound cost overruns and technical problems at Flamanville may cause construction at Hinkley Point to be scrapped; and calls for a full debate and a reappraisal of the project.

This motion has been signed by a total of 35 MPs.
