§ Mr. Austin Mitchellasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether nuclear waste dumps established by NIREX would be eligible for regional aid if located in the appropriate areas.
§ Mr. Peter Morrison[pursuant to his reply, 25 February 1986, c. 495]: The Regional Development Grant 582W (Qualifying Activities) Order 1984 (S.I. 1846) specifically excludes disposal of nuclear waste. Such projects are also very unlikely to qualify for regional selective assistance.
