§ Mr. Rostasked the Secretary of State for Energy whether he has commissioned an efficiency study of the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority.
109W
§ Mr. John MooreYes. Following consultation between the authority and the Department of Energy, the authority and the Department have jointly commissioned Messrs. Peat, Marwick, Mitchell & Co. to carry out a review of the efficiency and economy with which the authority uses the resources available to it for the conduct of its programme. This general review will highlight matters where in the consultant's view significant improvements could be achieved.
It is expected that the consultants will report to the authority and the Department within about three months from the start of their study. A copy of that report will be placed in the Library.
