them—destroy many of the conventional objections to nuclear power. They also

The United Kingdom Parliament
Baroness Farrington of Ribbleton: My Lords, I hope that the noble
Lord, Lord Jenkin, will forgive me. In the previous debate, the Minister did not
get his full time to reply. Perhaps I may point out to noble Lords that in the
debate standing in the name of the noble Lord, Lord Jenkin of Roding, there is
one minute to spare. Any other time will be taken from the Minister.
