HC Deb 06 November 1987 vol 121 c882W
Mr. Martyn Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if there are any regular checks made for radioactivity in human foodstuffs (a) in north Wales and (b) in Clwyd; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Walker

There is regular monitoring of the terrestrial and aquatic environment designed to assess the impact of the discharges from the two nuclear power stations in north Wales.

In addition, since the Chernobyl accident, a general monitoring programme covering agricultural produce has been undertaken throughout Wales. Produce tested includes milk and milk products, cereals, fruit, vegetables and meat.
