§ Mr. Alfred Morrisasked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will introduce legislation to seek to ensure that local authorities are made aware of, and are actively consulted on, all movement of all radioative materials through their areas.
§ Mr. RidleyAll movements of radioactive materials are governed by the regulations of the International Atomic Energy Agency. The required design of the packaging ensures safety both in normal transport conditions and in accidents. There is therefore no need to make special routeing arrangements, or to involve local authorities.
