HC Deb 13 February 1987 vol 110 c367W
Mr. Tony Banks

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will publish the guidelines adhered to by his Department regarding the transportation of bombs.

Mr. Stanley

The transportation of military explosives, including bombs, by road, rail and sea is governed respectively by regulations contained in Statutory Instruments SI 1977 Nos. 888–890.

So far as nuclear weapons are concerned, the regulations applied by my Department are at least as stringent as those governing movements of civil radioactive material, which were set out by my hon. Friend the then Under-Secretary of State for Transport on 25 July 1983 at column 289.
