Mr. Jon Owen Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make it his policy to collect centrally information on the movement of radioactive materials for reprocessing by road, rail, sea and air in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Norris

I have no plans to do so.

Mr. Jon Owen Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what progress has been made in the compilation of the International Atomic Energy Agency database on the movement of radioactive materials for reprocessing in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Norris

Information was supplied by my Department to the International Atomic Energy Agency in 1991 in response to an IAEA request for certain details for its database on shipments of radioactive material. The information related to total shipments of irradiated fuel, non-irradiated fuel, uranium from reprocessing and wastes for the year 1990.
