Nuclear Safeguards Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Fox (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 20 March 2018. It occurred during Debate on bills on Nuclear Safeguards Bill.

Following my noble friend Lord Teverson’s excellent explanation for the reason for this amendment, on the long-named programmes and systems in proposed new subsection (2), can the Minister tell the House whether these are built on existing systems that are being adapted or will they be built from scratch? The Minister may have to write to me in answer. Also, on the nature of the IT companies delivering these, is there competition in delivering systems such as this or is this a very specialist area with a small pool to fish from and not much choice, which of course leads to price escalation?
