§ Mr. Malcolm BruceTo ask the Secretary of State for Energy what discussions he has had with British Nuclear Fuels with respect to plans to make production workers more responsible for safety monitoring; whether he intends to discuss this with the nuclear installations inspectorate; what implications the plan has for the 1986 safety audit carried out by the nuclear installations inspectorate; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Michael SpicerNeither my right hon. Friend nor I have had discussions with British Nuclear Fuels plc on this matter. Any such proposal and its implications for the 1986 safety audit would be a matter for discussion between British Nuclear Fuels and the Health and Safety Executive's nuclear installations inspectorate.
