Policy and ownership responsibility for the UK shareholding in Urenco has transferred from the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change to the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills.

This parallels other recent moves to consolidate government shareholdings within the Shareholder Executive under the Business Minister Michael Fallon and will strengthen the ability of the Government to utilise commercial expertise in the future management of its Urenco shareholding, including in the ongoing work on a possible sale.
