According to the Scottish Parliament’s lobbying register, there were no pro-nuclear lobbying meetings in 2020, three in 2019 and four in 2018. There is only one recorded lobbying meeting by an anti-nuclear group since 2018.
For the lunchtime meeting, Castletown produced a 16-page brochure entitled The Importance Of Nuclear Power To Scotland. This was aimed at “trying to put right some of the misrepresentations on nuclear power generation”. The meetings on May 24 have not yet been recorded in Holyrood’s lobbying register. The nuclear association said it was “in the process” of declaring them.
EDF also met two of the Labour MSPs, Sweeney and Whitfield, at Torness Nuclear Power Station in East Lothian on September 20, 2021. On September 23, the company lobbied Conservative MSP Liam Kerr on nuclear plans at a video conference. According to Glasgow SNP councillor and convener of the nuclear-free group of local authorities in Scotland Feargal Dalton, the nuclear industry was “getting desperate”. The industry was trying to “get its foot in Scotland’s door” before everyone realised that the country could be run on 100%He added: “I am confident that the Scottish Government will stick to its guns, and in a couple of years’ time England and Wales will be wondering why they ever gave nuclear power so much air time.
“For decades, it has provided good jobs, energy security and clean power for the Scottish people, and it can do the same for the next generation.”
