§ Mr. Donald Stewartasked the Secretary of State for Defence what checks are made by his Department over the periodic discharge of radioactive waste at sea by United States Navy submarine depot ships based at the Holy Loch.
§ Mr. StanleyNo such checks are made. However, I understand that the discharges at sea by the USN depot ship the USS Hunley are of low level radioactive water, take place more than 12 miles from the shore and are strictly controlled.
