One of the strategic actions is to simplify the entry process by reviewing perceived barriers to entry to the sector, including security clearance processes, assumptions around the time to achieve competence and the requirement for intensive induction training before joining. This work is being led by the National Skills Academy for Nuclear (NSAN), on behalf of the NSSG, and builds on NSAN’s existing expertise, such as their Triple Bar suite which aims to streamline the process to work on a nuclear site. The NSSG envisage that simplifying the process of entering the nuclear industry will make it more attractive for qualified and experienced people from other sectors.<strong><br> </strong></p> answering member constituency Watford answering member printed Richard Harrington grouped question UIN 113439 question first answered 21/11/2017 14:32:14 answering member 4068 label Biography information for Lord Harrington of Watford

The priority is to get the right arrangements for our relationship with the EU in the long term and we want to get there in a smooth and orderly way, with minimum disruption.</p><p> </p><p>That is why we want swift agreement on an implementation period, based on the existing structure of rules and regulations, so that there is one set of changes for businesses and people. That may mean that we start off with the Court of Justice of the EU (ECJ) still governing the rules we are part of for that period, but the Government is also clear that if we can bring forward a new dispute resolution mechanism at an earlier stage we will do so.</p><p> </p><p>In the recent BEIS Select Committee enquiry into the impact of leaving the EU on the nuclear sector, my department noted that it had been unable to find any ECJ cases on Euratom that involved the UK. I would like to take the opportunity to correct this, as two or three such cases have been identified.</p> answering member printed Lord Henley question first answered 21/11/2017 11:44:09 answering member 2616 label Biography information for Lord Henley
