HC Deb 22 July 1986 vol 102 c116W
Mr. Corbyn

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is the number of occasions and the quantities involved in cases of the mixing of high radioactivity milk with unaffected milk since April.

Mr. Jopling

The results of monitoring since the Chernobyl accident have indicated that radioactivity in milk has always been well below the levels at which the Government would need to consider taking action. I am not aware of any cases involving the mixing of milk containing high levels of radioactivity.

Mr. Corbyn

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if all food supplies with a higher level of radiation than 350 becquerels have now been withdrawn; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Jopling

I shall reply to the hon. Member as soon as possible.
