To ensure that local authorities can plan ahead and continue to respond to the overwhelmingly generous response of the British people, the Government will also provide additional funding to assist with costs incurred in future years. These arrangements will be applied to all cases since the 20,000 expansion was announced. A copy of that letter will not be placed in the Library.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/10/2017 answer text <p>A full Impact Assessment is being undertaken on the Nuclear Safeguards Bill, which will create the legal framework for a domestic nuclear safeguards regime following the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from Euratom. This Impact Assessment will assess the options for and implementation of a domestic nuclear safeguards regime following withdrawal from Euratom. Besides new responsibilities in respect of the new domestic nuclear safeguards regime, we do not anticipate the Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) undertaking additional responsibilities as a result of the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from Euratom. The Department is in regular discussions with the ONR to ensure that they will be in a position to take on the role and responsibilities required to help ensure the UK’s domestic civil nuclear safeguards regime meets our international safeguards and nuclear non-proliferation obligations standards upon leaving Euratom.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Watford answering member printed Richard Harrington question first answered 20/10/2017 11:22:42 answering member 4068 label Biography information for Lord Harrington of Watford
