§ 43. Mr. Beithasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the publicity budget of the Nuclear Industry Radioactive Waste Executive; and how much of this is met from public funds.
§ Mr. WaldegraveThis is an operational matter for British Nuclear Fuels plc, the electricity generating boards 605W and the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority, which are the bodies sponsoring NIREX. As a Vote-funded body the authority's contribution to the cost of publicity by NIREX counts as public funds, and amounts to £120,000 in 1983–84.
