HC Deb 29 November 1976 vol 921 cc31-2W
21. Mr. Dodsworth

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what steps he is taking to ensure that both local authorities and his own Department are receiving scientifically objective advice on the hazards and dangers of nuclear radiation on agriculture and on public health.

Mr. Eadie

My Department makes full use of the services of the National Radiological Protection Board, which was set up by statute to be the national authoritative point of reference on radiological protection for the United Kingdom. The Board is available to advise all bodies with responsibilities for the protection of the community from radiation hazards, including local authorities.
