The Financial Times leads on a story that Chinese companies will be shut out of Britain’s “floundering” nuclear energy programme. It says Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng wants to attract investors from the US, UK and elsewhere before existing reactors are retired in 2035. The paper reports that while Mr Kwarteng only referred to wanting to reduce “the UK’s reliance on overseas developers” Tory MPs believe the model will help him remove China’s GCN from future energy projects.
