HC Deb 17 February 1987 vol 110 cc564-5W
Sir Trevor Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on the nature and quantity of radioactive materials being considered for storage at Chatham dockyard and referred to on 2 February, Official Report,column 782, by the Under-Secretary of State for Defence Procurement.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

There are no firm plans for the storage of radioactive materials at MOD Gillingham (formerly Chatham dockyard). What I am considering is the need for the temporary storage there of short-life intermediate level radioactive material. This will involve no extension to existing facilities at Gillingham.
