3. NUCLEAR ENERGY (FINANCING) BILL: SECOND READING
Until 7.00pm (Standing Order No. 9(3))
Sarah Olney
Ed Davey
Daisy Cooper
Wendy Chamberlain
Mr Alistair Carmichael
Tim Farron
Christine JardineLayla MoranWera HobhouseMunira WilsonSarah GreenStephen Farry
That this House declines to give a Second Reading to the Nuclear Energy (Financing) Bill because there is no economic or environmental case for the construction of any further nuclear stations in the UK; because the Bill does nothing to address concerns about costs around nuclear waste disposal and decommissioning; because the Bill fails to bring forward meaningful reforms to accelerate the deployment of renewable power or the removal of restrictions on solar, wind and the building of more interconnectors to guarantee security of supply; and because it fails to remove barriers to investment in renewables or to support investment and innovation in cutting-edge energy technologies, including tidal and wave power, energy storage, demand response, smart grids and hydrogen.
Ian Blackford
Alan Brown
Alison Thewliss
Stephen Flynn
Owen Thompson
Marion Fellows
This House declines to give a Second Reading to the Nuclear Energy (Financing) Bill because it believes there is no longer a justification for a large nuclear power station to provide base load energy, because large scale nuclear is not compatible as a counter to the intermittency of renewable wind as nuclear stations are too inflexible, because pumped storage hydro should be utilised to provide renewable energy that can be dispatched when required and pumped storage hydro should be supported with a minimum electricity price providing better value to bill payers than funding new nuclear, because wave and tidal technologies should be utilised to provide stable and predictable electricity generation and these technologies should be supported to scale up via the provision of a ring fenced pot of funding within the forthcoming contracts for difference auction, because the net zero pathway will be better advanced by supporting the Scottish Cluster as a fast track Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage project given that it includes hydrogen production, direct air capture and carbon storage facilities that will serve the wider UK, and because greater support and investment should be directed towards green hydrogen production and emerging storage technologies; and, as the cost of energy increases, this House calls on the Government to spend more money on energy efficiency measures and targeted support for those who suffer from or are at risk of fuel poverty.
4. NUCLEAR ENERGY (FINANCING) BILL: PROGRAMME
No debate (Standing Order No. 83A(7))
Greg Hands
That the following provisions shall apply to the Nuclear Energy (Financing) Bill:
Committal
(1)The Bill shall be committed to a Public Bill Committee.

(2)Proceedings in the Public Bill Committee shall (so far as not previously concluded) be brought to a conclusion on 30 November 2021.
(3)The Public Bill Committee shall have leave to sit twice on the first day on which it meets.
Proceedings on Consideration and Third Reading
(4)Proceedings on Consideration shall (so far as not previously concluded) be brought to a conclusion one hour before the moment of interruption on the day on which proceedings on Consideration are commenced.
(5)Proceedings on Third Reading shall (so far as not previously concluded) be brought to a conclusion at the moment of interruption on that day.
(6)Standing Order No. 83B (Programming committees) shall not apply to proceedings on Consideration and Third Reading.
Other proceedings
(7)Any other proceedings on the Bill may be programmed.
5. Nuclear Energy (Financing) Bill: Money
No debate (Standing Order No. 52(1)(a))
Lucy Frazer
That, for the purposes of any Act resulting from the Nuclear Energy (Financing) Bill, it is expedient to authorise the payment out of money provided by Parliament of—
(1)any expenditure incurred by the Secretary of State by virtue of the Act,
(2)any expenditure incurred by the Competition and Markets Authority by virtue of the Act,
(3)any expenditure incurred by the Gas and Electricity Markets Authority by virtue of the Act, and
(4)any increase attributable to the Act in the sums payable under any other Act out of money so provided.
Notes:
Queen’s Recommendation signified.
6. Nuclear Energy (Financing) Bill: Ways and Means
No debate (Standing Order No. 52(1)(a))
Lucy Frazer
That, for the purposes of any Act resulting from the Nuclear Energy (Financing) Bill, it is expedient to authorise—
(1)provisions by virtue of which persons may be required to make payments, or provide financial collateral, for the purposes of, or in connection with, enabling a revenue collection counterparty to discharge obligations in relation to revenue collection contracts;
(2)the imposition, by virtue of the Act, of charges or payments under licences issued under the Electricity Act 1989;
(3)the payment of sums into the Consolidated Fund.
In this Resolution, “revenue collection counterparty” and “revenue collection contract” have the same meaning as in Part 2 of the Bill.
7. SPEAKER’S COMMITTEE FOR THE INDEPENDENT PARLIAMENTARY STANDARDS AUTHORITY
