HC Deb 22 January 1997 vol 288 c642W
Mr. Meacher

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what quantities of radioactive waste will be brought to the United Kingdom under the terms of the latest contract for British Nuclear Fuels to process radioactive waste for the United States Department of Energy.[11912]

Mr. Page

Details of the contract are a commercial matter for BNFL and its US subsidiary, BNFL Inc. However, I understand that the contract for the waste treatment work at Idaho national engineering laboratory, worth an estimated £650 million, does not involve importing radioactive waste to the UK.
