On 23 May Nuclear Minister of State Lord Philip Hunt retired from the Department of Energy Security and Net Zero and was replaced by Baroness Margaret Curran. Minister Curran takes up her role on the eve of the Spending Review, at which it is expected the government will attempt to make a Final Investment Decision (FID) for Sizewell C.

There are plently of alternative choices that could help us move closer to net zero, reduce household energy bills and create sustainable jobs in every part of the UK.

Help us get lots of emails to new DESNZ Nuclear Minister Margaret Curran, and ask her to help Cabinet collegues make the right choices - and cancel Sizewell C
