§ Mr. Harveyasked the Secretary of State for Wales if there is any evidence of contamination along the north Wales coast from nuclear waste emitted by the Sellafield nuclear plant.
§ Mr. Wyn RobertsRoutine monitoring of coastal waters has been carried out for many years to ensure that discharges of radioactive waste, from whatever source, do not pose a threat to the public. Results, published annually by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food in its aquatic environment monitoring report on radioactivity in surface and coastal waters of the British Isles, show that any exposure of members of the public would be small in relation to the international safety limit and there is therefore no evidence to suggest that people using the beaches, for example, are at risk.
