EDF executives called back by MPs to explain Hinkley Point delay

Company chiefs summoned to address committee after French minister says final decison could be put back until September

EDF executives have been called back to parliament to explain why they have further delayed making an investment decision on a planned 18bn nuclear power station at Hinkley Point in Somerset.

MPs on the energy and climate change committee want to hear from EDF chiefs after the French economy minister, Emmanuel Macron, said the final decision could be delayed until September - four months later than expected.
