HC Deb 14 July 1987 vol 119 c412W
Mr. Lofthouse

asked the Secretary of State for Energy when he intends to respond to the second report of the Energy Committee, Session 1986–87.

Mr. Parkinson

With regard to the Committee's recommendation on NII staffing, the Government have agreed to a further pay award for nuclear inspectors to make Nil salaries fully competitive with the rest of the industry. An extensive recruitment campaign is now under way and has attracted considerable interest.

I hope to be able to respond shortly to the Committee's recommendation on decommissioning costs.
