Union calls for government to guarantee nuclear plant as Toshiba totters
The trade union Unite has called for government guarantees that the planned nuclear power station at Moorside, near Sellafield, will be funded.
He said: "Unite renews its call to the business secretary Greg Clark to step in and
pledge public investment to ensure that the project goes ahead on schedule, as
Toshiba is in deep financial trouble and has a big question mark over its
future."
A spokesman for Mr Clark's department said the government was committed to new nuclear capacity.
He said Nugen had always planned to bring in other partners and Mr Clark had "visited South Korea last week for talks on future collaboration, including on civil nuclear projects."
Police commissioner lists actions taken after Poppi Worthington inquiries
Cumbria Police and Crime Commissioner Peter McCall says a 14-point action plan drawn up after a number of reports following the death of Barrow toddler Poppi Worthington has now been fully implemented.
Poppi died in December 2012, and although a family court judge would later say he believe she had been sexually assaulted before her death, failures in the police investigation meant the full circumstances have not been established.

In a statement at a meeting today Mr McCall said the failings had been addressed through a wide range of actions.
He said: “Cumbria
Constabulary is a good force that is working hard to keep us all safe and will
continue to work hard together with our communities and partners to meet the
changing nature of crime.”
