HC Deb 29 June 1978 vol 952 cc678-9W
Mr. Sillars

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what is his estimate of the annual cost of providing security for nuclear power stations and related activities.

Mr. Eadie

I am advised by the CEGB that the costs of providing security for nuclear power stations are merged in the board's records with expenditure on other aspects of nuclear operations, arid cannot be extracted without disproportionate time and cost. I would also refer my hon. Friend to the answer given to the hon. Member for Bury St. Edmunds (Mr. Griffiths) on 26th May with reference to the Atomic Energy Authority Constabulary.
