HC Deb 22 January 1985 vol 71 c400W
Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what are the routes along which methyl isocyanate is transported within the United Kingdom.

Mrs. Chalker

I refer the hon. Member to my reply to the hon. Member for Bury St. Edmunds (Mr. Griffiths) on 17 December 1984, at column 67. I am not aware of any other bulk movements of methyl isocyanate, but there is no requirement for such movements to be notified.

Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he has completed his review of the way in which methyl isocyanate is transported following the Bhopal disaster.

Mrs. Chalker

The investigations of the Indian authorities into the Bhopal disaster have not yet been completed. When they are, we will consider whether there are any lessons that may be applied to transport in this country.
