§ Mr. Peter Emeryasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs what progress he has made towards bringing the Radioactive Substances Act, 1960, into operation.
§ Sir K. JosephAn Order in Council has been made, bringing the Radioactive Substances Act, 1960, into operation on 1st December, 1963. I expect to lay before Parliament next week a number of orders exempting from control under the Act certain minor uses of radioactive materials. A memorandum for the guidance of users of radioactive materials will be published early in the New Year; it will explain how to submit applications for registration under the Act and for authorisation to the disposal of radioactive waste.
