Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Lord Hutton of Furness (Labour), on Wednesday, 21 February 1996, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 65 members in total.


DUKE POWER

That this House notes that the Government is in negotiation with Duke Power to arrange the fire sale of the British nuclear industry; notes that Duke Power are notorious for their outrageous decision, rule unacceptable by the US Labor Department, to pay their workers to keep silent about safety fears; regards such behaviour as unacceptable in any company that serves the public and a threat to the lives of millions of people; and regards it as typical of the Tories to put their desperation to sell of the nuclear industry above the safety of the people they purport to represent.
