The government is planning to award covert subsidies of hundreds of millions of pounds to nuclear power, betraying the coalition promise that the taxpayer would not foot the bill for a new generation of reactors, according to an influential committee of MPs.
The MPs criticised attempts to hide the subsidies as "deeply irresponsible" and said they put the government's green credentials in jeopardy.
