Here are the climate-related sections of speeches by MPs during the Commons debate Nuclear Energy (Financing) Bill (Third sitting).
12:09 The Minister of State, Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (Greg Hands)
As all Members will agree, it is vital that the UK continues to lead the world in tackling climate change. That is why we have committed to a 78% reduction in emissions compared with 1990, as well as fully decarbonising our power sector by the year 2035, which will mean ensuring that the UK is entirely powered by low-carbon electricity, subject to security of supply. To deliver that, we will need new nuclear power plants, which are the only proven technology deployed at scale to provide continuous, reliable, low-carbon electricity.
