(Con):...We have an undisputed need for more low-carbon
electricity, and an undeniable, globally respected, safe nuclear
capability in Copeland. I will do nothing to damage that, and
everything I possibly can to grow that capability further. We must
secure more research and development in advanced
and small
modular reactors. We must export more of our current
decommissioning operations, and increase exports of skills,
components, products and processes that are working well at
Sellafield and being developed by our superb nuclear supply chain.

concerned that extortionate tariffs would not help, but hinder the
incredibly hard-working farmers and their businesses. The common
agricultural policy will come to an end, to the delight of many
Cumbrian farmers. Again, I want to do all I can to ensure that we
deliver a UK farming policy that works for Cumbrian farmers and
avoids damaging tariffs...
