INSTRUCTIONS TO PARLIAMENTARY COUNSEL
ELECTRICITY AND NUCLEAR INSTALLATIONS (AMENDMENTS
These Instructions deal with three entirely separate matters and are
therefore divided into three parts as follows.
Part I
Amendment of Electricity Legislation to allow the
supply of privately generated electricity as a main
business and associated matters;
Part II
Amendment of the Nuclear Installations Act 1965 to change
the limits on the liability of the operators of nuclear
installations, to make other amendments to enable the UK to
ratify protocols to two Conventions and to make some other
minor amendments.
Part III
Repeal of some powers of entry and the consolidation or
amendment of some others.
Part IV
The repeal of a provision requiring the Secretary of State to
lay an annual report of his activities in relation to the
electricity industry before Parliament.
Authority to send them was given by the Lord President of the Council
in a letter dated 29 April 1982. Policy approval is dealt with
separately in each Part.
Counsel has instructions herewith on Farts
II and III. Fart I will follow as soon as possible.
