HC Deb 13 May 1986 vol 97 c423W
Mr. Terlezki

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what steps his Department is taking, following the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in the Ukraine, to check that the seas, forests and rivers of the United Kingdom are not polluted and that wildlife and fish life are not affected; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Rumbold

Preliminary assessments suggest that the doses of radiation likely to be sustained by wildlife and fish are well below the levels that would be likely to cause harm to them or the seas, forests and rivers of the United Kingdom.
