§ Mr. Corbynasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list the number of accidents at Britain's nuclear power stations reported to him by the nuclear installations inspectorate since the accident at Chernobyl on 26 April of the current year.
§ Mrs. RumboldThe Nuclear Installations Inspectorate of the Health and Safety Executive does not report accidents at nuclear power plants to my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Environment. Under the arrangements announced to Parliament on 26 July 1982 by my right hon. Friend the then Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Energy, incidents at nuclear sites in Britain which are reported to the Secretaries of State for Energy and for Scotland by the Nuclear Installations Inspectorate are published quarterly by the Health and Safety Executive. The next report to cover the period 1 April to 31 July 1986 will be published later this year and, like its predecessors, will be placed in the Library of the House.
