Written question asked by Alan Duncan (Conservative) on Wednesday, 12 April 2006, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Tuesday, 18 April 2006. It was answered by Malcolm Wicks (Labour) on Wednesday, 26 April 2006 on behalf of the Department of Trade and Industry.


British Nuclear Group

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry when the Health and Safety Executive will decide whether to prosecute British Nuclear Group over the leak at the Thorp reprocessing plant in April 2005.
Answer

As Minister with accountability to Parliament for matters relating to civil nuclear safety, this question has been passed to me for reply. Decisions regarding enforcement action against British Nuclear Group are quite rightly a matter for the independent safety regulator, the Health and Safety Executive. I understand that HSE is still considering what, if any, action to take, but that a decision is anticipated by the end of April.
