Nuclear Energy (Financing) Bill: Second Reading

Government Bill Energy

What this vote was about

This was the Second Reading of the Nuclear Energy (Financing) Bill - the first main Commons vote on whether it should proceed. The Bill set up a new way to fund large nuclear power stations, letting developers recover some costs through consumer energy bills during construction, which the Government argued would lower the overall cost of building nuclear plants as part of reaching net zero. Approving Second Reading backed the Bill in principle. It passed comfortably by 319 votes to 44.
