Question

To ask the Scottish Government what assessment it has made of the impact of the closure of Torness Nuclear Power Station on consumer energy bills.


Answer

Energy pricing is fully reserved to the UK Government, and despite Scotland being an energy rich country, bills remain £73 higher than at the last election. The UK Government must set out how it will deliver its promised £300 reduction.
