Volume 478: debated on Tuesday 8 July 2008

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform what proportion of the planned increase in renewable energy by 2020 will be from nuclear sources. (215709)

[holding answer 2 July 2008]: None. Nuclear and renewables should both be part of the low carbon energy mix the UK needs. But nuclear is not itself a renewable source of energy.
