Dept of Trade and Industry

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry, for what reason ADD was chosen as the consultant to report on the suitability of the sites for the new synchrotron.

Answer: Mrs. Curtis-Thomas: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry for what reason ADD was chosen as the consultant to report on the suitability of the sites for the new synchrotron. [122448] Ms Hewitt: ADD Consultants were originally commissioned by CCLRC (the Council for the Central Laboratories of the Research Councils) to write a business case for the New Synchrotron in January 1999. Because of ADD's existing involvement in the project, and the time constraints, they were a natural choice to carry out the additional study on the suitability of the sites for the new synchrotron.
