Supporting documents:

Minutes:

The Committee considered further correspondence from the petitioners and Members noted their disappointment that no response to previous correspondence had been received from the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change.

 

However, in light of the fact that decisions over the development of Wylfa Newydd are subject to a planning inquiry and will ultimately be taken by the UK Government, the Committee agreed to close the petition on the basis that there is little further scrutiny that it could usefully contribute to this process.

Supporting documents:

Minutes:

The Committee considered the petition for the first time and agreed to

write to the petitioners:

  • to explain that because the UK Government has responsibility for the development of the Wylfa Newydd nuclear power station, there is little practical scrutiny that the Committee can bring to bear on this aspect of the petition; and
  • to ask if they would like to offer any additional comments on the primary points raised in the petition relating to how the support and investment in renewable technologies provided by Welsh Government could be improved or increased.
