HC Deb 11 November 1976 vol 919 c214W
Mr. Gordon Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what changes in United Kingdom procedures for dealing with safety measures for the disposal of radioactive waste, heating pollution, the transport of radioactive material and the decommissioning of nuclear power stations are proposed as a result of recent Euratom directives.

Mr. Denis Howell

The directive adopted on 1st June 1976 will require us to make certain changes in our procedures for controlling the use, transport and disposal of radioactive materials. The changes are still being worked out in detail but they are not likely to be extensive.
