NUCLEAR POWER COST

Early day motion 1593, tabled 7 September 2004 by Paul Flynn (Labour). Signed by 38 members.

That this House rejects the orchestrated propagation of the myth that nuclear power is a cost effective remedy for the consequences of grobal warming; notes that nuclear power receives a United Kingdom subsidy of ú2 million a day and is rendered economically ruinous by the threat of nuclear terrorism and the intractable legacy of nuclear waste; and believes that any return to failed nuclear technology will undermine investment in robust, cost-effective and environmentally benign sources of power.

Signatures by party: Labour 21, Liberal Democrat 8, Scottish National Party 5, Conservative 2, Plaid Cymru 2.
