HC Deb 25 February 1985 vol 74 c15W
40. Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what plans he has to amend the Atomic Energy Act 1954 to enable the authority to borrow in the financial markets; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Goodlad

As I said in my statement on 11 February, we intend to provide the authority with a capital structure and powers to borrow as required, so as to enable it to operate as a trading fund from April 1986, and will introduce legislation as soon as possible for this purpose.
