Commission to be introduced in the Nuclear Regulation Bill

The government has committed to introducing the Commission as part of its Nuclear Regulation Bill, announced in the King's Speech in May 2026. The government remains committed to the Commission being established by Summer 2028, which is later than the original taskforce target. This was reiterated in Written Ministerial Statements in both the Lords and the Commons in July 2026. However, there has been no announcement of a specific timetable or of bill text at present.
