Parliamentary Written Answer (Correction)

Lord Barker of Battle Excerpts

Tuesday 27th July 2010 Written Statements

[The Minister of State, Department of Energy and Climate Change (Gregory Barker)]

I would like to inform the House that a written answer I gave on 6 July 2010, Official Report, column 147-8W, UIN 5720, to the hon. Member for Hartlepool (Mr Wright), was incorrect. The hon. Member’s question tabled on 2 July 2010 asked what the address is of the head office of each non-departmental public body for which his Department is responsible.

In my written answer of 6 July 2010, I provided a list of NDPBs that referred to both the Office of Nuclear Development (OND) and the Gas and Electricity Markets Authority (GEMA).

The entry that read:

“Office for Nuclear Development: Area 3D, 3 Whitehall Place, London, SW1A 2AW”

should have read:

“Nuclear Liabilities Financing Assurance Board: Area 3D, 3 Whitehall Place, London, SW1A 2AW”.

The inclusion of OND was due to OND’s role in providing the secretariat for the NLFAB.

The list included the Gas and Electricity Markets Authority (GEMA). GEMA is not a non-departmental public body, but rather it is a non-ministerial Government Department.

These errors were due to inaccurate transcription from an existing internal database.

The full answer should read as follows:

Civil Nuclear Police Authority: H280 Hinton House, Birchwood Park Avenue, Risley, Warrington, Cheshire, WA3 6AS

The Coal Authority: 200 Lichfield Lane, Mansfield, Nottinghamshire NG18 4RG

Nuclear Decommissioning Authority: Herdus House, Westlakes Science and Technology Park, Moor Row, Cumbria CA24 3HU
