POS response to consultation on changes to Secretary of State notification requirements.

POS has responded to the Government’s consultation on new Secretary of State notification requirements. We oppose disproportionate measures that would slow decision‑making, and we emphasise the need for proper resourcing wherever new processes are proposed. Our response supports proportionate safeguards for nationally significant nuclear and safety‑related development.
