§ Mr. TippingTo ask the President of the Board of Trade what consultants he has commissioned in connection with the nuclear review; what are their terms of reference; when they were appointed; and when he expects their final report.
§ Mr. Eggar[holding answer 10 January 1995]: Three firms of consultants have been appointed in connection with the nuclear review: BZW to examine issues related to the feasibility of privatisation and the introduction of private finance into the nuclear industry; KPMG to examine liabilities management issues; and NERA to examine diversity issues. Full details of the terms of reference have been placed in the Library of the House. BZW and KPMG were appointed in August 1994 and NERA in September 1994. I expect to have received final reports from all three consultants shortly.
