HC Deb 23 May 1986 vol 98 c346W
Dr. Godman

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish the locations of the three areas of highest rainfall in Scotland for which samples of rainfall have been analysed to detect levels of radiation since the Chernobyl disaster; and if he will publish a full record of the date and time of readings, and the level of each of the various forms of radioactivity which were recorded, together with the normal level and the lower emergency reference level for each such type of radioactivity.

Mr. Ancram

I shall let the hon. Member have a reply as soon as possible.

Mr. Gordon Brown

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland when the first check was made in Fife for radiation levels after the Chernobyl incident.

Mr. Ancram

As part of the monitoring put in hand in Scotland in connection with the Chernobyl accident, measurements were made in Fife of the gamma dose rate and of the concentration of radioactivity in air from 28 April and 1 May respectively.
