HC Deb 05 April 2000 vol 347 c477W
Mr. Llew Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry on what basis he set the target for an increase in favourable media coverage of the activities of the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority contained in the authority's corporate aims and objectives programme. [117071]

Mrs. Liddell

The UKAEA target for favourable media coverage is based on industry established monitoring methodologies. The target set for this year improves on what they achieved last year. It is at a level which is challenging and attainable. This measure is part of the framework to monitor UKAEA performance on safety, environment, value for money and public acceptability.
