Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether it has made an assessment of the impact that nuclear energy generation has on (a) jobs, (b) skills and (c) the economy, and if it has not made such an assessment, whether it will do so.
Answer
We have not made an assessment of this kind. However, our work to refresh Scotland’s Energy Strategy, due to begin later this year, will include consideration of such aspects across the energy sector as a whole.
