Mr. Llew Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what facilities his Department has to assist police forces to make forensic analysis of substances believed to be nuclear materials, apprehended by British police investigators.

I have been asked to reply. My Department has facilities for identification of the nuclear materials present in suspect packages and also for measurement of their radioactive content. These facilities are made available to the Home Department and police forces where appropriate.
