§ Mr. D. E. Thomasasked the Secretary of State for Energy, pursuant to his reply of 4 June, Official Report, columns 594–95, to the hon. Member for Penrith and the Border (Mr. Maclean), if he will set out the economic and organisational effects on the reprocessing of Magnox nuclear fuel of the United Kingdom-Euratom safeguards arrangements for Sellafield; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. GoodladAs my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Energy stated in his reply to the hon. Member for Penrith arid the Border (Mr. Maclean) of 4 June 1986 at column 594–95, the introduction of separate civil and non-civil Magnox fuel reprocessing operations will in future involve sequential rather than simultaneous procedures. British Nuclear Fuels plc will incur modest additional costs rendering escort and other assistance to Euratom inspectors.
