Can the Minister confirm when the Rolls-Royce contract will be signed, the general design assessment completed, and the final investment decision made? Also, with most of the costs currently being funded privately, is the Government prepared to demonstrate its full commitment?

Is the Minister eagerly awaiting the report of the regulatory review, particularly on outdated semi-urban population density criteria? Will he work with me to ensure that the benefits of the Heysham site are known across the industry?

If ruling out large-scale at Wylfa and ditching the 24 GW target, are the Government calling time on new large-scale nuclear? Also, who is right about the timeline for power generation from SMRs in the 2030s versus industry reports stating 2042?

New small modular reactors have real potential to help reduce our reliance on foreign gas and bring down energy bills, as well as bringing a welcome boost to jobs and investment in Anglesey. SMRs should be where the focus is when it comes to nuclear, not big, expensive nuclear power stations that cost multiples more and take far longer to build. The Liberal Democrats are pleased to see SMRs coming forward as part of a mix of cost-effective and safe decarbonised power generation, but will the Government please confirm that they will also maintain focus on boosting wind and solar power generation in order to bring down everyone’s energy bills?

My hon. Friend the Member for Thornbury and Yate (Claire Young) has been working closely with constituents who will now be disappointed that the alternative site of Oldbury has not gone forward, so can the Minister clarify what the future is for that site?

I welcome the announcement of the new SMRs at Wylfa. This is British innovation we can be proud of, leading to decarbonisation of our electricity grid, and helping to combat climate change. It is exactly the sort of policy that my Exeter constituents want from this Government. Does the Minister agree that supply chains at Wylfa and Sizwell C will benefit businesses and workers across the entire United Kingdom, alongside the local areas where they are based?

No one likes to consider the prospect of international conflict, but we have seen from that between Ukraine and Russia how dangerous a situation can be when fuel supply installations are targeted. What thought have the Government given to affording the same level of protection against either sabotage or external attack for these new smaller reactors as those that are already built into the construction of the larger plants?

I congratulate the Minister on the announcement and the thousands of jobs that it will create. Is he as disappointed as I am in the SNP’s immature stance on new nuclear in Scotland that would mean that communities like mine in Ayrshire, where we have Hunterston, would not have access to thousands of new jobs? Is there anything that the Minister could do to change the SNP’s mind, short of a stonking Scottish Labour victory next year?

The Minister is right to say that we want as many individual components of these SMRs as possible to be built in the UK, as well as the final SMRs themselves, but what work is he doing across Government to ensure not just these SMRs, but the world’s SMRs are built in the UK?

Will the Minister confirm what tangible steps are being taken to accelerate approval of Rolls-Royce’s design and other SMR designs, and by how much? When does he expect the first SMR to be operational at Wylfa?

Will the Minister assure small and medium-sized businesses such as Delkia that they will benefit from this growth, supported by this Government?

Will the Minister provide further information on the infrastructure required in Trawsfynydd, especially in relation to data centres and energy supply?

Will the Minister tell us more about the work being done to maximise the extra jobs and prosperity that will be delivered in Derby, Warrington, Wylfa and other sites as a result of this Labour Government’s investment?

How can the Minister assure us that this will not turn into another HS2, with spiralling costs and missed deadlines?

Will the Minister assure me that this is just a sign of more great things to come for Wales from this UK Labour Government?

Will the Government commit to working with the Legislative Assembly to create a similar project in Northern Ireland that will provide power to homes and businesses throughout the area?

What measures will the Government take to ensure that regulatory alignment is in place so that construction can start promptly for the advanced modular reactors project in Hartlepool, which involves £12 billion of economic input and 2,500 jobs? The September announcement with X-energy and Centrica outlines plans to build up to 12 AMRs.

Does the Minister agree that the SNP’s anti-nuclear stance defies logic given that nuclear power provides reliable baseload energy and is essential for security of supply? Moreover, Scotland imports nuclear energy from time to time when system capacity is insufficient.

Does my hon. Friend agree that it is only due to this Labour Government's substantial investment in the domestic nuclear industry that we can reverse previous Conservative failures? Additionally, does he concur that by investing for the long term and collaborating closely with UK companies, this Government can deliver the jobs and energy system transformation required across constituencies?
