Radioisotopes
Asked by: Liz Saville Roberts (Plaid Cymru - Dwyfor Meirionnydd) Wednesday 29th March 2023 Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what progress his Department has made on developing a domestic supply of medical isotopes as part of the Medical Radionuclide Innovation Programme. Answered by Andrew Bowie - Shadow Minister (Energy Security and Net Zero) The Department of Energy Security and Net Zero is delivering the up to £6 million Medical Radionuclide Innovation Programme (MRIP) which aims to identify technology and policy options that could support domestic supply of medical radionuclides in the future. MRIP launched in December 2022 and will run until March 2025. The programme will deliver an assessment of the UK supply and demand landscape, building on existing research. It will test data against potential future scenarios to inform policy development and future Government decision-making. Officials are currently finalising Phase I of the Landscape Assessment, with Phase II commencing next financial year to focus on modelling future supply and demand scenarios. In parallel, several feasibility studies are ongoing by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority to assess whether the retrieval of radionuclides from legacy material is possible, and whether this material might be useful in supporting domestic supply and research. The Innovation Project Call aims to spark innovation in the field and the competitive call will commence later this year. The call aims to spark innovation across the supply chain, to develop new radionuclide production capability in the UK. |

Trapping
Asked by: Liz Saville Roberts (Plaid Cymru - Dwyfor Meirionnydd) Wednesday 29th March 2023 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, with reference to the oral contribution by the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs of 9 January, Official Report column 139WH, what discussions she has had with the devolved administrations on the potential merits of banning the use of snares. Answered by Trudy Harrison A date is being arranged for a meeting with Lesley Griffiths, MS for Rural Affairs in the Welsh Government after the Easter recess. I will be interested to discuss the Welsh Government’s plans to ban the use of snares in Wales. I also intend to engage with my counterpart in the Scottish Government, particularly with regard to the effectiveness of its existing legislation covering snares and the Scottish Animal Welfare Commission’s recent position paper on the trapping of terrestrial wild mammals using snares. In the meantime, my officials are in regular contact with colleagues in the devolved administrations as this government continues to consider how snares are regulated as part of our continued drive to maintain the highest animal welfare standards in the world. |

Railways: North of England
Asked by: Liz Saville Roberts (Plaid Cymru - Dwyfor Meirionnydd) Monday 17th April 2023 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the potential economic benefits of the Northern Powerhouse Rail for Wales. Answered by Huw Merriman The Government published the Integrated Rail Plan (IRP) for the North and Midlands in November 2021 of which Northern Powerhouse Rail (NPR) forms one component. As NPR is a programme designed to improve connectivity in the North of England, specific economic benefits accruing to Wales from the scheme have not been assessed. The IRP will improve onward connectivity to the South West and Wales via a new high-speed line from Birmingham to Manchester. Much of North Wales will also be brought within two and a quarter hours of London, via interchange with HS2 at Crewe. In addition, the Midlands Rail Hub business case focuses on improving links to Hereford, Worcester, Coventry and regional links to South Wales and Bristol.

Nuclear Fission: Research
Asked by: Liz Saville Roberts (Plaid Cymru - Dwyfor Meirionnydd) Monday 27th March 2023 Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the potential impact on the development of nuclear fission technology of the reduction in the numbers of Centres for Doctoral Training funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council since 2013. Answered by Andrew Bowie - Shadow Minister (Energy Security and Net Zero) According to the Nuclear Innovation and Research Advisory Board (NIRAB), more than 400 students have followed the nuclear CDT programmes over the last ten years, with the vast majority following careers in the nuclear sector afterwards. We continue to work closely with the nuclear sector and academia to drive forward the necessary actions to enhance our nuclear capabilities in support of our energy security objectives and net zero ambitions. |

Great British Nuclear
Asked by: Liz Saville Roberts (Plaid Cymru - Dwyfor Meirionnydd) Monday 27th March 2023 Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if he will make an assessment of the potential impact of the National Nuclear User Facility ending in March 2024 on Great British Nuclear; if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of extending funding for that scheme beyond March 2024; and whether he has had recent discussions with relevant stakeholder on that scheme. Answered by Andrew Bowie - Shadow Minister (Energy Security and Net Zero) The National Nuclear User Facility (NNUF) is funded through UKRI and provides equipment for, and access to, state-of-the-art experimental facilities focused on research and development in nuclear science and technology. This work is very different to more mature commercial reactor technologies expected to engage with Great British Nuclear. Funding beyond 2024 would be a matter for UKRI and my colleagues in their sponsor department, and would need be considered in the context of future priorities and budget allocations in the next spending review. |

Radioisotopes: Trawsfynydd
Asked by: Liz Saville Roberts (Plaid Cymru - Dwyfor Meirionnydd) Monday 27th March 2023 Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether he has had recent discussions with the Welsh government on proposals for a national medical isotope centre in Trawsfynydd. Answered by Andrew Bowie - Shadow Minister (Energy Security and Net Zero) The Department of Energy Security and Net Zero recognises the importance of maintaining future access to medical radionuclides for UK patients. No specific assessment has been made on the potential impact of developing a nuclear material test reactor in the UK on the domestic supply of medical isotopes. The Department is, however, delivering the up to £6 million Medical Radionuclide Innovation Programme which aims to identify technology and policy options that could secure access to radionuclides for nuclear medicine services. The programme will consider the development of a domestic research reactor as a potential option. Officials from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, and the Department of Health and Social Care continue to meet regularly with their counterparts in the Devolved Governments to discuss medical radionuclide supply, most recently on the 9 March 2023. The Department will continue to work with Welsh Government as their proposal for a medical isotope centre in North Wales progresses. |

24 Mar 2023, 10:49 a.m. Rishi Sunak tried to bury the release of his tax return on a busy news day The millionaire PM only paid an effective tax rate of 22% on his total earnings - because income from wealth gets an easy ride His tax bill would be more than double if all income was treated equally ?
