  MPs were considering the Nuclear Energy (Financing) Bill.[1][2][3]
  
  The Bill provides powers for the Government to help fund, and encourage private investment in, new nuclear power stations by directing funds from consumers, via electricity suppliers, to pay for the design, construction, commissioning and operation of a new nuclear energy generation project. 
  
  The amendment rejected by a majority of MPs in this vote was:
  
  :Amendment proposed: 3, page 7, line 8, at end insertâ
  
  :â(3A) When exercising the power in subsection (1), the Secretary of State must not cause the excess of expenditure being incurred over the allowable revenue cap to lead to further charges upon revenue collection contracts.â
  
  The rejected amendment was accompanied by the following explanatory statement from its proposer: 
  
  :This amendment prevents the Secretary of State from allowing the levy of further consumer charges should an increase in allowable revenue be agreed following increases in costs or timescale of a nuclear project.
