HC Deb 15 January 1987 vol 108 c253W
Mr. Redmond

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he intends to issue new guidance on the movement of nuclear weapons convoys to chief fire officers.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

It has been the long standing policy of this and previous Governments not to comment on methods of transporting nuclear weapons. However, there is continuing liaison between the representatives of chief fire officers and Ministry of Defence staff about the role of the fire service in the handling of incidents involving radioactive materials and guidance to chief fire officers is kept under review.
