§ Mr. Michael SpicerI have asked the chairman of British Nuclear Fuels plc to reply to the detailed questions raised by the hon. Member.
BNF plc, like any other licensed nuclear operator, must continue to meet the requirements of the independent Health and Safety Executive. Good progress has been made in meeting those requirements specified in HSE's initial audit report on the implementation of safety changes at Sellafield.
