HC Deb 20 February 1996 vol 272 cc76-7W
Mrs. Beckett

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what liabilities the Government propose that British Energy carry for reprocessing waste; and if he will make a statement. [16193]

Mr. Lang

The Government have made it clear that in the restructuring of the nuclear generators liabilities will follow assets. British Energy will therefore carry those liabilities associated with its assets.
