§ Mr. AltonTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if the civil defence and emergency planning authorities were informed of possible radioactive precipitation in the north-west of England on the night of 28–29 October; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Douglas HoggI understand that radiation readings in the north-west from the national radiation monitoring network (RIMNET) and other sources showed only normal levels of radioactivity; no authorities were therefore alerted.
