§ Mr. Frank Allaunasked the Secretary of State for Energy if he will list all known instances of malicious damage to the radioactive components of British nuclear installations, together with the extent of the damage; and whether the culprits were apprehended.
§ Mr. Norman LamontI am advised that there have been no known instances of malicious damage to the radioactive components of civil nuclear installations operated by the CEGB, the UKAEA, BNFL or Amersham International Limited—formerly The Radiochemical Centre. Responsibility for civil nuclear installations operated by the SSEB lies with my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Scotland, but I understand that, there too, there have been no known instances.
