HC Deb 15 February 1990 vol 167 cc327-8W
Mr. Malcolm Bruce

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy if he will make a statement on the future relationship between Nuclear Electric and Nirex.

Mr. Baldry

Upon vesting, the CEGB's 42.5 per cent. shareholding in UK Nirex Ltd. will be transferred to Nuclear Electric.

Mr. Flynn

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy what information he has concerning the proportion of the unit cost of nuclear electricity that is allocated to waste management and decommissioning in France and the United Kingdom, respectively.

Mr. Baldry

Direct comparisons between France and the United Kingdom cannot be made because nuclear power is generated in each country by different reactor types which have different waste management and decommissioning requirements.
