§ Mr. McKelveyasked the Secretary of State for Energy what assessment he has made of the employment implications of the policy of Her Majesty's Government towards the development of nuclear power; and if he will make a statement.

But clearly construction of a station such as Sizewell B will provide a significant boost for United Kingdom industry and employment. And in the longer term cheap nuclear electricity should enhance the United Kingdom industry's competitive position and therefore employment possibilities.
