Written question asked by Steve Webb (Liberal Democrat) on Thursday, 20 November 2008, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Tuesday, 25 November 2008. It was answered by Mike O'Brien (Labour) on Wednesday, 26 November 2008 on behalf of the Department of Energy and Climate Change.
British Energy: EDF
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change whether his Department has offered compensation to EDF in exchange for the sale of land to potential new-build competitors at existing British Energy sites; and what discussions his Department has had with other shareholders in British Energy over the sale of British Energy to EDF.
- Answer
-
[holding answer 25 November 2008]: No. The undertaking agreed with EDF provides for it to release BE sites that would be surplus to its requirements and allows it to retain the proceeds of a sale and so the issue of compensation has not arisen. The only discussion that HMG has had with other shareholders in BE was a meeting held in August with Invesco, at Invesco's request.
