Extract from Wales Questions: Hendry Review: Tidal Lagoons - Sep 6

Theresa Villiers (Chipping Barnet) (Con): Will the Minister make renewable energy in Wales a priority so that it can play its full part in delivering our important goals on energy security and tackling climate change?

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Wales (Guto Bebb): The development of energy policy in Wales is about energy security. It is about securing our energy supply for the future, which is why I and my colleague in the Wales Office are always involved with projects such as the new Wylfa power station in Anglesey. We are looking at small modular reactors for parts of Wales, and we are, indeed, still looking at the tidal lagoon in Swansea.
