§ Mr. Hooleyasked the Secretary of State for Energy what route will be taken by ships carrying Japanese nuclear waste from Windscale back to Japan; what will be the ports of call; and whether they have been agreed with the countries concerned.
§ Mr. Norman LamontI am advised by BNFL that there is no likelihood of nuclear waste being returned to Japan from Windscale before the mid-1990s. The question of the ports to be used and of approaches to the authorities concerned will be considered at the appropriate time.
