HC Deb 03 December 1987 vol 123 cc645-6W
Mrs. Michie

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what proposals he has to ban the use of concrete as a form of containment for radioactive waste in the light of the problem of alkali silica reaction.

Mr. Trippier

Research is progressing into the integrity of cement as an encapsulating medium. I will make no decision until that research is completed.
