HC Deb 09 July 1986 vol 101 c174W
Mr. Foulkes

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list all directives issued in respect of Chapelcross nuclear power station since 1979.

Mr. Allan Stewart

[pursuant to his reply, 26 June 1986, c. 314]: No directives have been issued in respect of the Chapelcross licence.

Mr. Foulkes

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what reports he has received since 1979 from the Nuclear Installations Inspectorate in respect of Chapelcross power station; which of these have been published; and what action has been taken to implement any recommendations in these reports.

Mr. Allan Stewart

[pursuant to his reply, 26 June 1986, c. 314]: I refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave him on 26 June, at columns 313–14. The implementation of recommendations made in the published quarterly reports is pursued by the Nuclear Installations Inspectorate and recorded as appropriate in subsequent reports.

Mr. Foulkes

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what has been the annual production of titanium and plutonium at Chapelcross in each year since 1979; and what has been the destination of this production in each case.

Mr. Allan Stewart

[pursuant to his reply, 26 June 1986, c. 314]: The hon. Member is aware that the nuclear reactors at Chapelcross are available to meet defence requirements for nuclear materials. It would not, therefore, be in the national interest to reveal details of their production.
