Letter: Letter: Private police

Published 17 July 1993

From ANDREW MUNN

Your Feedback item of 12 June on the UKAEA Constabulary, while obviously
written with a view to milking the Group 4 stories to the full, is also pure
fiction.

While it is well known that the government is looking at the feasibility of
privatising the business operations of AEA Technology, the prospects of the
Constabulary being privatised are completely unfounded.

Our chief executive, Brian Eyre, has already stated that, if the government
decided to privatise AEA, he would expect the Constabulary, along with some
other operations related to work on our redundant nuclear plant, to remain
in the public sector.
