HC Deb 09 January 2002 vol 377 c871W
Mr. Chaytor

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what arrangements she is proposing for the transfer of contracts held by BNFL to the Liabilities Management Authority; and if she will make a statement. [25408]

Mr. Wilson

The proposals outlined by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry on 28 November 2001,Official Report, column 990, will not affect BNFL's existing contractual commitments to its customers in any way. Details on how the Liabilities Management Authority is expected to operate in practice will be set out in the White Paper to be published next spring on the Government's overall approach to discharging the UK's public sector civil nuclear liabilities.
