  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 explanatory notes to the Bill[3] state:
  
  :Large scale nuclear power plants are the only proven technology available today to provide continuous, reliable and low carbon electricity.
  :...
  :the Governmentâs analysis shows that the UK is likely to need nuclear generation beyond the new plant being constructed at Hinkley Point C. To meet the challenge of net zero [carbon emissions by 2050]
  
  The motion supported by a majority of MPs in this vote was:
  
  :That the Bill be now read a Second time.
  
  Support for this motion enabled the Bill to continue on its path to becoming law.
