Proceeding contribution from David Miliband (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 October 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Radioactive Waste Management Report.


Radioactive Waste Management Report

I consider it essential for the process to be driven by the national interest and by a public body. That is precisely why the NDA will play the role that I have described. As I have said, it was created by Parliament with express purposes. When it comes to the appointment of contractors, its best-practice model is the running of open competitions. I think that I am right in saying that that procedure is now proceeding satisfactorily and appropriately in respect of lower-level waste at Drigg.
