Sir Edward Leigh in the Chamber

Nuclear energy is the way forward for Britain - in a world where energy security is proving to be more crucial than ever, it is of the upmost importance that the government invests in nuclear power. 

The new nuclear fusion site at West Burton, only 2 miles from Gainsborough will not only provide a reliable source of sustainable energy but will also bring millions of pounds in investment and bring thousands of jobs for those in the local area, including my constituents. It is important for Britain to compete with and lead the rest of the world when it comes to science and innovation.
