PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(29 January 2026)

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what recent discussions he has had with the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs on representations made by the US Ambassador regarding the suitability of Wylfa for gigawatt-scale nuclear energy production.

Asked by:
Claire Young (Liberal Democrat)

The US is one of our most important and longstanding international partners on civil nuclear and we are regularly in contact on civil nuclear matters.

The government has selected Wylfa as the site to host Britain’s first Small Modular Reactors. Meanwhile, to pursue the option of further large-scale nuclear, we have tasked Great British Energy - Nuclear with identifying suitable sites that could host a potential large-scale project.
