Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, pursuant to the Answer of 21 January 2015 to Question 222829, what categories of support and overhead spending have increased over £10 million between 2009-10 and 2013-14; and for each such category, what the reasons are for the increase in spending.

The only category that has increased by more than £10m during the period is Security. The reasons for this can be summarised as being the increased security requirements at nuclear sites across the country (particularly Sellafield) which has required additional expenditure on both capital investment and operating costs.
