Mr. Dodsworth
asked the Secretary of State for Energy what security checks are carried out on employees at nuclear establishments before they are employed and from day to day.
Mr. Eadie
It is the general practice in nuclear establishments to make preemploment checks to see whether anything is on record against a prospective employee which might affect his suitability for employment. In the case of the small proportion of employees who have access to sensitive information more extensive inquiries are made; these are subsequently reviewed from time to time.
