HC Deb 06 May 1988 vol 132 c652W
Dr. Thomas

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy if he will make a statement on the current profitability and future commercial prospects of the energy technology support unit at Harwell.

Mr. Michael Spicer

The energy technology support unit (ETSU) is a part of the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority, and its profitability is therefore a matter for the authority. The future commercial prospects for ETSU are likewise a matter for the authority.
