Clause 83 - Additional functions of UKAEA
Energy Bill [Lords]
4:30 pm
Mr Nigel Griffiths (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Department of Trade and Industry; Edinburgh South, Labour)
As I say, the examples to date have not raised questions about the judgment of UKAEA. I invited the hon. Gentleman to share any examples
that he has of present property management about which he has concerns. The clause allows us to confirm their powers. On the question of finance, I cannot imagine the Chancellor or the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry not taking into account any money made by UKAEA in a budget request it might make of Government. I am sure that my Treasury colleagues, as well as departmental colleagues, will examine the balance sheet closely.
