In March 2017, Greg Clark MP, the UK Secretary of State for Energy, established an independent Inquiry into the conduct of a 2012 decommissioning services procurement process undertaken by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority and the reasons why the contract subsequently awarded to Cavendish Fluor Partnership in 2014 "proved unsustainable". Holliday was asked to lead the Inquiry.
