HC Deb 17 June 1980 vol 986 c492W
Mr. Hooley

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what will be the estimated expenditure from public funds in 1980–81 on the advertising and promotion of nuclear power.

Mr. Norman Lamont

The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority, the only vote-funded body concerned, expects to spend £650,000 in 1980–81 on the distribution of information about nuclear power to the public. I understand that the nuclear power information group, which includes the main bodies involved in the nuclear industry, is spending about £100,000 on nuclear information advertisements in the six months from February this year.
