§ Mr. Austin Mitchellasked the Prime Minister whether she will set up an interdepartmental committee to review the Government's policy on the disclosure of information on civil nuclear power and radiation levels.
§ The Prime MinisterNo. The Secretary of State for the Environment, in answer to a question from my hon. Friend the Member for Canterbury (Mr. Crouch) on 15 May, undertook to publish all incidents which are reported to him by Her Majesty's Radiochemical Inspectorate and which involve the release of radioactivity, however small, to the environment. The Secretary of State for Energy is discussing with the nuclear industry the implementation of comparable arrangements for incidents reported to him by the Nuclear Installations Inspectorate.
