Since the Chinese Know nothing about our 'elf & Safety laws, I have my doubts, but then again, I wouldn't want a new nuclear power station anywhere in the UK, having campaigned vehemently against the use of nuclear power (and weapons) over many, many years.

The aim is to have China support the Nuclear plants we need.We're always bloomin late - and now we look like desperate prats ..... Oh Gawd

But you do get it.
We have to TRY to increase trade no matter with whom and we are not BEHOLDEN to any other country if we try to do this.

Re: Beholden to the Chinese
Sorry I was talking about nuclear power generally, the idea we have to trade with all is right and shouldn't be party political, a lot of what the country needs to do should not be party political, we have seen the NHS, police and schools all damaged by this idea things have to be party political.Time we stopped some of this and actually looked at what the country needs because the parties have all made a fine mess of things from where I sit.
