Speeches by Onn.

“How are people accountable if nobody will be removed if this 16,000 does not materialise up to 40,000?”

“You do a survey of the companies. Do you get 100% return on the survey or do you have to extrapolate some of the numbers?”

“The Nuclear Futures Institute at Bangor University says that, “undergraduate students, the number of Centre for Doctoral Training in fission-related subjects has fallen over the last 3 years”. That is not the same as your information. Why is not it the same?”

“Do you know what model the NIA uses compared to yours?”

“Directly?”

“Mark, is the National Nuclear Strategic Plan for Skills—catchy title—on track to deliver the supposed 40,000 additional workers who are required by 2030? If it is, who is responsible for making sure that that target is met? Who is accountable for that?”

“Sue touched on it not being all about salaries, but are UK salaries career pathways—perhaps even entry pathways into work, different working conditions, patterns—suitably attractive, suitably visible compared to the international nuclear markets? Is there more that could be done?”

“Sue, how significant is the competition for skilled workers across different sectors, whether it is energy, defence, transport, other major infrastructure projects? Do you think that there is a risk to the timeline and timeframe for delivery of the nuclear programme, given that we have already seen quite extensive dela…”

“Do you include supply chain in this 40,000 figure?”

“Do you know what model the NIA uses compared to yours?”

“On the basis that I also used to do these surveys of companies and businesses and it was never that easy to get the data and get it in a timely fashion and accurately, and given that some jobs were on a part-time basis or a contracted basis or whatever it might be, how confident are you in that 16,000 figure compared t…”
