§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will publish in the Official Report the exact type of nuclear waste being transported through the London borough of Newham and the actual or estimated frequency with which these loads are transmitted.
§ Mr. EyreAs I said in my answer to the hon. Member for Brent, South (Mr. Pavitt) on Monday 31 January 1983—[Vol. 36 c.41]—the internationally agreed arrangements for ensuring safety in the transport of radioactive materials are designed to hold good independently of routeing. My Department does not collect information of the kind requested. To do so would add absolutely nothing to public safety.
