asked Her Majesty's Government:

What is their reaction to The Times report of 24th September 1996 that there is the risk of an explosion at Dounreay similar to that which occurred in 1977.

The Government have been assured by the UKAEA that action has been taken to ensure that there will not be another explosion in the shaft.
