HC Deb 19 February 1985 vol 73 c431W
Mr. Parry

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what is the current estimated cost of the plant being constructed for British Nuclear Fuels Limited at Capenhurst.

Mr. Lee

It has been the long standing practice of successive Governments not to disclose cost information of this nature.

Mr. Parry

asked the Secretary of State for Defence when he expects the British Nuclear Fuels Ltd. plant at Capenhurst to be completed; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Lee

The plant to which the hon. Member refers is the enrichment plant referred to in the then Secretary of State for Defence's statement in June 1982 at columns 128–29. Construction is on schedule and expected to be completed this year.
