HC Deb 18 April 2000 vol 348 cc433-4W
Mr. Stunell

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what action he plans to take on the Collum report on BNFL; and if he will make a statement. [118798]

Mrs. Liddell

[holding answer 14 April 2000]: I have now received an outline of the proposed changes from the BNFL Chairman and Chief Executive, following their initial review of BNFL management. It will be for the company to implement the proposed changes, which will be achieved over a period of time. Where relevant, these will need to be fully consistent with the company's site licence obligations and agreed by the Government as shareholder. More detailed announcements related to the Review will be made in due course.
