Message to the Treasury

Posted Mon, 29/06/2015 - 12:24pm by Martyn Lowe

Last week it was reported in the Guardian and elsewhere that the Treasury was less than enthusiastic about the terms of the deal the British Government had entered into with EDF over the building of Hinkley C nuclear power station.

Because of this Kick Nuclear have decided to hold two leafletting sessions outside the Treasury underlining just how terrible a deal it is and congratulating them on their stand.

This is the text of the leaflet which will be distributed: -
