§ Mrs. EwingTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will list the locations of all Ministry of Defence estates in Scotland where(a) radioactive, (b) fuel and (c) other types of contamination is at a level that is above the maximum allowable level for a civilian residential area. [4983]
§ Mr. Soames[holding answer 8 December 1995]: There are no Ministry of Defence sites in Scotland where land contamination has been identified as posing a significant risk to health and safety or the environment and therefore requiring decontamination. Remediation work at RAF Lossiemouth following an accidental oil fuel spillage in April is continuing and will be completed shortly.
