§ Mr. MaddenTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what action his Department took in respect of the report to the senior police officer at Menwith on radiation around radome 4—No. 512–91—dated 29 September 1991. [32354]
§ Mr. SoamesThere was no need for action by my Department. The comments regarding radiation around radome 4 were written in error. There is a zone around 93W the radomes which is fenced off for security reasons to deter protesters and activists, who have regularly targeted the site, from damaging the equipment. There is no reason for any personnel employed at RAF Menwith Hill to avoid any particular radome for health and safety reasons.
