§ Mr. Dodsworthasked the Secretary of State for Energy what security checks are carried out on employees at nuclear establishments before they are employed and from day to day.
§ Mr. EadieIt is the general practice in nuclear establishments to make preemploment checks to see whether anything is on record against a prospective employee which might affect his suitability for employment.
