HC Deb 28 February 1968 vol 759 cc356-7W
53. Mr. James Johnson

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, if he is satisfied that there is no radioactivity in fish caught by British trawlers in seas west of Greenland arising from the four hydrogen bombs which crashed with the United States B52 bomber south of Thule; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Hoy:

At this season of the year British trawlers are not fishing in these grounds, which are far south of the scene of the accident.

Investigations carried out on the spot, by Danish and American scientists show that no hazard to people or biological species is foreseen.
