Clause 83 - Additional functions of UKAEA
Energy Bill [Lords]
4:30 pm
Mr Norman Baker (Shadow Secretary of State for the Environment, Environment, Food & Rural Affairs; Lewes, Liberal Democrat)
I am not sure that that entirely answers my point. Will the Minister confirm what I believe to be the position? Notwithstanding the diversification, which may or may not be a distraction from the organisation's main duties, will any funds accrued in this way be included in an annual report, and will he confirm that moneys raised in that way will be returned to the Exchequer? Will he also confirm what the position will be if UKAEA seeks to use the power to commercially exploit land, but does so in an incompetent manner and runs up a loss?
