HC Deb 13 November 1996 vol 285 cc229-30W
Mr. Meacher

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what recent safety and environment reviews have been conducted by(a) the Health and Safety Executive, (b) the Nuclear Installations Inspectorate and (c) the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency into nuclear-related operations at Dounreay. [2958]

Mr. Page

There have been no recent safety and environmental reviews, but Her Majesty's nuclear installations inspectorate, on behalf of the Health and Safety Executive, carries out regular inspections of nuclear safety related operations on the Dounreay site. SEPA also carries out regular inspections to ensure that conditions of the discharge authorisations are in compliance with the Radioactive Substances Act 1993 and these will be continuing.
