Mr. Foulkes

asked the Secretary of State for Energy when the Health and Safety Executive report on the transport by road of Plutonium Nitrate, completed in June, will be published.

Mr. John Moore

The Government are giving careful consideration to all aspects of the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority's proposals on the transport of plutonium nitrate by road and ship from Dounreay to Windscale, including the advice contained in a report prepared by the Health and Safety Executive. The report will be published and the Government's decision on the AEA's proposals announced in due course.
