Interesting commment on a Guardian article today on Hinkley Point:
“It was one of the Coalitions first major announcements in 2010 which they rushed into.
However Dame Elizabeth Periam Gass, Lady Gass DCVO JP, Lord-Lieutenant of Somerset from 1998 to 2015 sold a bit of her estate near Hinckley Point for £50 million for it’s construction. [in 2011]
Not that she did anything illegal you understand but it does show how much money spins off from a project as big as this. I wouldn’t mind betting many others of the already rich have had a similar fortunate happening.”
Confirmed by this 2011 article in Western Daily Press of 2011:
