To ask the Secretary of State for Energy if he has received the outline statement of the case, published by the Central Electricity Generating Board, in advance of the public inquiry into the proposed Hinkley Point C pressurised water reactor to commence this October, and if he will make a statement.

I received the Central Electricity Generating Board's outline statement of case on 13 May. I also received an outline statement of case, on the same day, from Somerset county council on behalf of itself, West Somerset district council and a consortium of opposing local authorities.
