HC Deb 06 November 2003 vol 412 c770W
Norman Baker

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how much fissile material has been produced in each year from 1979 to date; and how much is presently held, broken down into material classified as(a) high level, (b) intermediate level and (c) low level material. [135078]

Mr. Ingram

Since 1979, deliveries of fissile material, under Ministry of Defence production contracts, have been as follows (rounded to the nearest kilogram):

Kilogram
1989–90 181
1990–91 271
1991–92 179
1992–93 268
1993–94 181
1994–95 171
1995–96 21

Fissile material is not classified in the categories requested, which are used to describe levels of radioactive waste. I am therefore unable to provide the information in the form requested.
