HC Deb 29 October 1981 vol 10 c402W

Mr. Cook asked the Secretary of State for Energy, further to his reply to the hon. Member for Edinburgh, Central on 16 February, Official Report, column 26, whether the expansion at Windscale referred to in his answer is for civil or military purposes.

Mr. John Moore:

The expansion at Sellafield—Windscale—is primarily intended for civil purposes, but some residues arising from Ministry of Defence operations may also be treated in the complex.
