The coalition Government are committed to ensuring accountability in public life. That is why we have established the triennial review process to examine all non-departmental public bodies (NDPBs).

As part of this ongoing programme, I am announcing today the triennial review of the Civil Nuclear Police Authority (CNPA)

As with all such reviews, this has two aims:

to challenge the continuing need for an NDPB to carry out this role—both its functions and form; and—if it is agreed it should remain as an advisory NDPB; to review its control and governance arrangements to ensure it is complying with recognised principles of good corporate governance.

I will announce the findings of the review in March 2014.

If you would like further information, or to contribute to the review, please contact my Department at: CNPAReview@decc.gsi.gov.uk. This DECC mailbox will be open until end March 2014.
