Mr. Best

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what discussions he has had about the effect on Wales of the recent discharges of radioactive waste from Sellafield; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Mark Robinson

As my hon. Friend the Minister for Environment, Countryside and Local Government assured the House on 19 February, the Welsh Office is in close liaison with the DOE and the MAFF, and with other bodies, in discussions about the environmental aspects of radioactive waste discharges, including those from Sellafield. In addition, the Welsh Office has an assessor on the Radioactive Waste Management Advisory Committee and on the Committee on Medical Aspects of Radiation in the Community.
