HC Deb 25 June 1993 vol 227 c312W
Mr. Martyn Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what criteria were used in the selection of the consortium chosen to run the Llanishen atomic weapons establishment.

Mr. Aitken

Tenders for the contract to operate the atomic weapons establishment (which includes the site at Llanishen, Cardiff) were evaluated against a range of stringent criteria for operating the establishment. These included health and safety factors, which were particularly important in judging the competition.
