HC Deb 16 February 1982 vol 18 c84W
Mr. Cryer

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list the recommendations of the sixth report of the Royal Commission on environmental pollution which Her Majesty's Government (a) have adopted, (b) are still considering and (c) have rejected: and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Giles Shaw

A detailed response to the Royal Commission's recommendations was given by the Government of the day in the White Paper, "Nuclear Power and the Environment", in May 1977, Cmnd. 6820, and the bulk of them were accepted. Some matters were reserved for further consideration and will be covered in the White Paper that we are to publish on radioactive waste management.
