§ Mr. Wallaceasked the Secretary of State for the Environment when he expects to publish the special development orders for the Nuclear Industry Radioactive Waste Executive investigation of potential land sites for the disposal of radioactive waste.
§ Mr. WaldegraveA special development order will be laid before the House once Nirex have announced alternative possible sites for a particular type of land disposal facility. For sites for consideration alongside Elstow for shorter-lived wastes, I expect an announcement to be made within the next few months.
