NUCLEAR INSURANCE

Early day motion 1253, tabled 2 April 2014 by Paul Flynn (Labour). Signed by 12 members.

That this House notes the proposal by the Ministry of Defence for indemnification of private contractors at its facility at HM Naval Base Clyde; is alarmed that the Departmental minute reveals that the value of the contingent liability is unquantifiable due to the potentially catastrophic nature of a nuclear incident; declines to support such indemnification as it removes all risk from the private contractor and embeds unquantifiable liability with taxpayers; objects to the minute; and calls for a full debate on the floor of the House on this matter.

Signatures by party: Labour 8, Social Democratic and Labour Party 2, Green 1, Independent 1.
