To ask the Secretary of State for Energy (1) if the Government intend to continue to allocate funds for investment in British Nuclear Fuels Limited's enhanced actinide removal plant at the Sellafield installation;(2) if the Government intend to continue to allocate funds for investment in British Nuclear Fuels Limited's Line Four Hex plant at the Springfield installation;(3) if the Government intend to continue to allocate funds for investment in British Nuclear Fuels Limited's new oxide fuel complex at the Springfield installation.

This is a commercial matter for British Nuclear Fuels plc. The Government do not allocate funds to the company. Its business is financed by borrowing on the commercial market.
