To ask the Secretary of State for Health, to whom the Committee on Medical Aspects of Radiation in the Environment reports; how that Committee is funded; and when that Committee last reviewed the Sellafield plant.
The Committee on Medical Aspects of Radiation in the Environment (COMARE) is a Department expert committee, but it provides independent advice to all government departments and agencies throughout England and the devolved authorities. Previously it has reported on requests from the Health Departments of Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland and the Scottish Government, as well as the Department.
The Committee is funded through the Grant in Aid awarded to Public Health England (PHE) by the Department and the secretariat is provided through PHE.
The tenth report, ‘The incidence of childhood cancer around nuclear installations in Great Britain’, published in 2005 included Sellafield in the analyses.
COMARE has been commissioned by the Department to review the incidence of childhood leukaemia and other cancers around the Sellafield and Dounreay nuclear installations, in accordance with recommendation 5 of the 11th COMARE report. A subcommittee is undertaking this work and it is anticipated it will be published as a report in 2015.

We are engaging with those workers through the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority and through Sellafield Ltd, and we stand ready to assist in the discussions to make sure they understand the implications of the changes to their livelihoods. As I said in response to the hon. Gentleman’s urgent question, we are talking about good news for workers at Sellafield, and indeed it was welcomed by the MP representing that constituency.

If it is such good news for the workers at Sellafield, I would expect the Secretary of State to be engaging with those 10,000 highly-skilled workers, who are very concerned about what the impact will be on their jobs and their livelihoods. I can tell him that there has been just one local meeting with those workers in the past few weeks, and very many of their questions were not answered. He has had communication from their representatives. Will he now undertake to fulfil the promise he gave this House just three weeks ago to engage properly with those people, at a time of severe anxiety for them?

I absolutely will answer the questions put to me by the workers and their representatives, and I will ensure that the NDA and Sellafield Ltd make sure that they answer those questions, too. That is only right.

The Government approved the original contract (for a 17 year period, with fixed review points) with Sellafield Ltd under the ownership of Nuclear Management Partners (NMP) in 2008. The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) is responsible for managing that contract. All aspects of the contract review and the decision to extend the contract into the second term were made by the NDA Board in line with its duties and responsibilities under the Energy Act 2004.
The NDA reached its decision to roll the contract forward based on a thorough review of performance in the first period of the contract and consideration of all available options. That showed that whilst mixed, Sellafield was on track to meet 90% of its targets in the first five years of Nuclear Management Partners’ contract and there had been significant improvements in safety.
The Department has oversight of all NDA activity and, given the particular importance of Sellafield, Ministers were kept fully informed of progress. We were satisfied that the NDA’s review was thorough and endorsed the Board’s decision on the basis that at the time it represented the best way forward.
