§ Mr. Dodsworthasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make estimates and projections to show when the increasing level of radioactivity in fish caught near nuclear effluent discharge points is likely to reach the limits recommended by the International Commission on Radiological Protection and the Medical Research Council.
§ Mr. BishopThe exercise of the rigorous control arrangements to minimise levels of radioactive waste discharged is designed to prevent radioactivity in fish from rising above present levels. Further arrangements have been set in hand to reduce the amount of 131W radioactivity discharged and the consequent levels in fish.
