§ Dr. CunninghamTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will arrange for independent interviews and investigations to be carried out into recent allegations by employees of BNFL of safety breaches at Sellafield.
§ Mr. Michael SpicerI have been asked to reply.
I understand that various anonymous allegations have been made of breaches in safety rules in certain buildings at BNFL's Sellafield site. BNFL and the Health and Safety Executive's nuclear installations inspectorate will both be looking into these allegations and undertaking any further necessary investigations.
