HC Deb 26 February 1986 vol 92 cc581-2W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether nuclear waste dumps established by NIREX would be eligible for regional aid if located in the appropriate areas.

Mr. Peter Morrison

[pursuant to his reply, 25 February 1986, c. 495]: The Regional Development Grant (Qualifying Activities) Order 1984 (S.I. 1846) specifically excludes disposal of nuclear waste. Such projects are also very unlikely to qualify for regional selective assistance.
