HC Deb 20 October 1989 vol 158 cc280-1W
Mr. Flynn

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy if National Power will retain the ownership of all nuclear waste in the categories of low, intermediate and high level solid and liquid radioactive wastes arising from their nuclear stations and after reprocessing, when the Central Electricity Generating Board is privatised.

Mr. Michael Spicer

The Health and Safety Executive's nuclear installations inspectorate requires the licensee to make satisfactory arrangements for the treatment, storage and ultimate disposal of spent fuel and nuclear waste. This will not change after privatisation.
