§ Mr. SalmondTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport if there are any proposals to use Prestwick airport for the transportation of plutonium; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Peter BottomleyI understand that British Nuclear Fuels' current preferred option is to use Prestwick airport for returning reprocessed plutonium oxide to Japan. This traffic will not take place until the mid-1990s and no firm decisions have yet been taken.
