Mr. Llew Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will make it his policy to ensure no additional financial resources are provided to BNFL to subsidise the programme of liquid radioactive waste treatment required at Sellafield following decisions agreed at the Ministerial meeting of the Ospar Convention in Sintra.

Mr. Battle

The Government will continue to set financial targets for BNFL which take into account the cost of dealing with the nuclear liabilities for which they are responsible.
