The question
To ask the Scottish Executive whether Scottish ministers have had discussions with their UK counterparts on (a) how any nuclear power stations will be funded, (b) whether the UK Government will be investing any public money in new nuclear power and (c) whether the UK Government will match incentives offered to companies funding nuclear power stations with incentives for the renewables industry.
The answer
We have had no discussions withUKministers on any aspect of the development of new nuclear power stations in Scotland. However,we provided a full response to the UK Government’s consultation on nuclear power,which is available from the Scottish ParliamentInformation Centre. More generally we have made our position clear – Scotland does not want or neednew nuclear power stations and therefore such discussions are not necessary.
