HC Deb 04 February 1987 vol 109 c684W
Mr. Proctor

asked the Paymaster General, in the light of the recommendations by Sir Frank Layfield in the report on the Sizewell public inquiry concerning further work to be undertaken by Her Majesty's nuclear installations inspectorate, what discussions he has arranged with the Director General of the Health and Safety Executive on the resource implications of such further work; when he expects to he informed of such resource implications; if he will publish a report of the potential resource implications; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Trippier

My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Energy has a quasi-judicial role in respect of the Central Electricity Generating Board's application to construct Sizewell B. It would not be proper to comment on the inspector's report, including the recommendations, before he has taken his decision.
