Nuclear Safeguards Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Rooker (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 7 February 2018. It occurred during Debate on bills on Nuclear Safeguards Bill.

I am sorry to interrupt the Minister, but this issue was raised recently in the EU Energy and Environment Sub-Committee inquiry into energy security. The ONR cannot be independent in the same way that Euratom was. The accounting officer is appointed by the DWP accounting officer. The chair of the ONR is appraised by the DWP. How can it be sold to the IAEA that the ONR is as independent as Euratom?
