Saturday 10th June at 11am
The question of whether new nuclear power stations are the way forward
for energy policy in the UK is a controversial one and is exercising the
minds of many in the Labour Party, not least elected members who are likely
to have to take decisions on the matter in the near future.
Labour’s Campaign for Socialism has been discussing this issue and,
given the various strands of opinion on the matter, decided that the best
way forward was to have a open and comprehensive debate. The CfS are therefore
pleased that eminent party members such as Michael Meacher, Brian Wilson,
Elaine Smith and Marlyn Glen have accepted the invitation to lead the
deliberations, along with other Stephen Boyd from the STUC and Neil Phillips
from SERA. All members of the Labour Party are invited to attend this
debate to be held in the STUC this Saturday.
Speaking about the event, Elaine Smith, Convener of CfS said “It
is an eminently sensible and responsible approach to have a well informed
debate on the important and controversial issue of nuclear power and I’m
therefore pleased that the CfS is facilitating this opportunity for Labour
Party Members”.
“I hope that members with an interest in this matter will take the
opportunity to come along and hear well informed views on the issue from
prominent speakers and make their own contribution to this vitally important
discussion. I would particularly welcome the attendance of Jack McConnell
since, although this matter is a reserved issue, decisions may have to
be taken in the Scottish Parliament about whether or not to permit such
a development in Scotland.”
