§ Mr. TrippierIt is not the policy of the Health and Safety Executive to make public personal details of staff or outside consultants employed by Her Majesty's nuclear installations inspectorate and who may be involved in the assessment of emergency plans for nuclear power stations. Information on the expertise and so on of inspectors and outside consultants will be found in the Health and Safety Executive's publication "The Work of Her Majesty's Nuclear Installations Inspectorate", a copy of which is in the Library of the House.
The inspectorate uses its own staff to assess emergency plans.
