HC Deb 14 January 2002 vol 378 c38W
Norman Baker

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what has been the cost to date to public funds of decommissioning of nuclear power plants. [23924]

Mr. Wilson

[holding answer 18 December 2001]: Between 1994–95 and 2000–01 the cost of decommissioning UKAEA's nuclear power plants amounted to £119.3 million. (Expenditure on decommissioning nuclear power plants owned by BNFL has been met from its own resources). Figures for earlier years could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
