Nick Robinson goes behind the closed doors of Whitehall and Westminster to ask how controversial decisions are reached.

In the last of the current series, he and his panel consider how a government would consider the case for a new generation of nuclear power stations. How would the safety, financial, energy security and environmental arguments be marshalled, and how would the protagonists make their arguments stick?

Joining Nick to discuss the issue are Tom Burke, a very experienced environmentalist and former special adviser to three Environment Secretaries; Professor Sir David King, the former government Chief Scientific Adviser; Tim Eggar, the former Energy Minister; Tessa Munt, the Liberal Democrat MP; and Anne McElvoy, Public Policy Editor for The Economist.
