Brown says UK energy supply would be ’safeguarded’ by new nuclear power

Britain’s future energy supplies would be ’safeguarded’ by the construction of new nuclear power stations, said Prime Minister Gordon Brown.

Speaking at his first Prime Minister’s Questions, Brown said last year’s events in Europe, where Russia cut off gas supplies to Ukraine, ’should make it clear to everyone that we cannot rely on an energy policy that makes us wholly dependent on one or two countries or one or two regions around the world’.
