§ Clause 5, page 9, line 37, at end insert ("in order to secure that the carrying out of the test does not create any danger")
§ LORD MILLSMy Lords, the proviso to Clause 6 (2) requires an inspector, before carrying out a test at a nuclear site, to consult such persons with duties on the site as he thinks appropriate. The Amendment makes it clear that the purpose of the consultation is for the limited purpose of securing that the test does not cause danger. The object is to ensure that, in a complex plant with which the inspector may, understandably, not be as familiar himself as the people working in it daily, he does not inadvertently cause danger by opening or closing the wrong switch. I beg to move that this House cloth agree with the Commons in the said Amendment.
§ Moved, That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said Amendment.—(Lord Mills.)
§ LORD SHACKLETONMy Lords, I can only say that I hope that Government inspectors of all kinds refrain from turning on or pulling switches of which they do not know the purpose.
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
