Mr. Peter Bruinvels

asked the Prime Minister if she will detail the exact help and advice that has been given to the Soviet Union by Her Majesty's Government following the Chernobyl disaster; and if she will make a statement.

The Prime Minister

Her Majesty's Government have offered whatever help and assistance they can provide to the Soviet Union following the Chernobyl accident. The United Kingdom has sent 74 heat-resistant suits and 105 breathing sets together with a compressor and decontamination unit. All other possible assistance has also been offered, but the Soviet authorities have not indicated that they require any further assistance.
