During Department for Energy security and Net Zero Questions on Tuesday, David Morris MP invited Energy Minister Andrew Bowie to visit Heysham 1 and 2 nuclear Power Stations.
David Morris MP recently visited the two stations and staff were keen to show the Minister how proud they were of our two stations and the hard work that goes into operating the biggest single licenced nuclear site in the Country and the huge potential we have for a new nuclear power station, given Heysham is on the list to receive a new build nuclear power station.
Speaking in Questions David Morris MP said:
My constituents put in 10% of the energy into the national grid from two nuclear power stations. We are No. 7 on the template for new builds, so I would like to invite the Under-Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, my hon. Friend the Member for West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine (Andrew Bowie) to come to Heysham to see for himself the good work of EDF and the new nuclear power programme that is coming to my constituency.
Energy Minister Graham Stuart MP said:
My hon. Friend is a stout champion not only of the pathway to net zero but of the jobs and prosperity that come with it. It is with great alacrity that I accept on behalf of my hon. Friend the Minister.
