HC Deb 15 November 1989 vol 160 c304W
Mr. Dobson

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy if he will list the new nuclear company's commitments to British Nuclear Fuels plc.

Mr. Wakeham

National Power has been in negotiation with BNF plc on revised contract arrangements for nuclear fuel services. The new company will be taking these discussions forward.

Mr. Dobson

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy (1) what estimate he has made of the consequences for the British Nuclear Fuels plc plant at Sellafield of the decisions on the nuclear power programme which he announced on Thursday 9 November;

(2) what is his estimate of the impact on Sellafield and Windscale of the reduction of the immediate pressurised water reactor programme to one power station.

Mr. Wakeham

My statement on 9 November should have no impact on BNFL's operations at Sellafield.
