HC Deb 23 May 1990 vol 173 c205W
Mr. Simon Hughes

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy if he has any plans to amend the Nuclear Installations Act 1965 so as to bring repositories of radioactive waste within its scope; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Baldry

The Government are well aware of the need to provide for the licensing of radioactive waste repositories and propose to introduce regulations to achieve this at an appropriate time.
