What powers it has over the Civil Nuclear Constabulary’s operations in Scotland.

Nuclear security is a reservedmatter. Under Section 62 of the Energy Act 2004,theUK Civil Nuclear Constabulary is subject to voluntary inspection by Her Majesty’s Inspectors of Constabulary (HMIC). The act also allows the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry to initiate an inspection, and places a duty on the Secretary of State to make the report of an inspection public, subject to national security considerations.Where an inspection covers the constabulary’s activities in Scotland then HMIC for England and Wales must consult the HMIC for Scotlandabout the Scottish aspects of the inspection.
