§ Mr. Barry Jonesasked the Minister of Transport how often trains carrying nuclear waste pass through East Flint.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeI am informed that on average fewer than two flasks of irradiated nuclear fuel may pass through East Flint per week.
§ Mr. Dixonasked the Minister of Transport when he intends to answer the letter from the hon. Member for Jarrow on the transport of nuclear waste dated 4 December 1979 and the subsequent letter of 13 February.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeI have written to the hon. Member. I apologise for the length of time it took to obtain the information necessary to write to the hon. Member in this case. I hope that the length and factual detail of the reply that I was finally able to send are some compensation for the unfortunate delay.
