Bell Pottinger's concern about the pro-nuclear credentials of the select committee members certainly seems to have little relevance to the NDA's mission statement: "To deliver a world class programme of safe, cost-effective, accelerated and environmentally responsible decommissioning of the UK's civil nuclear legacy in an open and transparent manner and with due regard to the socio-economic impacts on our communities." [http://www.nda.gov.uk/default.aspx?pg=9]
In August 2006, ''PR Week'' reported that the NDA has put its whole PR account up for tender including "strategic counsel, PA [public affairs] and stakeholder engagement. It also covers promotion of the NDA's role in encouraging local economic regeneration." [http://www.prweek.com/uk/news/article/575511/] (Sub req'd). It is understood that Bell Pottinger will repitch for the account.
