§ Mr. Austin Mitchellasked the Secretary of State for Defence what special protection he proposes for nuclear dump sites in the event of (a) terrorist threats and (b) war.
§ Mr. WaldegraveI have been asked to reply.
I assume that the hon. Member is referring to the potential sites announced by my right hon. Friend and NIREX on 25 February. Given the nature of the wastes concerned, no special precautions are likely to be needed beyond those currently envisaged for safe containment.
