Michael Shanks: “the Labour government is delivering a golden age of nuclear in England and Wales”

More than 70 per cent of the supply chain for the SMRs of Wales will be built in Britain, that's jobs and opportunities, but obviously we could open up even more opportunities if we were actually building the projects in Scotland as well.

sadly Scotland is missing out on the enormous economic and energy security potential

To be clear: there was no threat to the wider grid and nobody lost power. We have one of the most resilient energy systems in the world.

I totally accept that people might not like that, but it is critical national infrastructure and it has to be built somewhere.
