§ Mr. Ashdownasked the Secretary of State for Energy if he will make it his policy to ensure that all documents relating to the 20-year safety reviews of Magnox nuclear reactors will be published in full; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Goodlad[pursuant to his reply, 9 June 1986, c. 52]: No. It is essentially for the operators and the Nuclear Installations Inspectorate of the Health and Safety Executive to decide what is practicable. As I told the hon. Member in a written answer on 20 May, the inspectorate will in future publish its conclusions on each long-term safety review, following discussion of those conclusions with the licensee.
