Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what provisions were made for the termination of the Magnox decommissioning contract issued in 2012 to the Cavendish Fluor Partnership by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority in the event that there proved to be a significant mismatch between the work that was tendered for and the actual scale of the work that was to be carried out.
The contract contains ‘termination for convenience’ provisions that could be exercised unilaterally by the NDA in circumstances where they wished to bring the contract to an end.
