§ Mr. Michael McNair-WilsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence whether he intends to institute changes in working practices at AWE Aldermaston and AWE Burghfield as a result of the National Radiological Protection Board report "Interim Guidance on the Implications of Recent Revisions of Risk Estimates"; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Sainsbury[holding answer 23 October 1987]: Prudent management in the design of facilities and in the formulation of operating procedures at AWE Aldermaston and AWE Burghfield means that the National Radiological Protection Board interim guidance is met already.
Consequently, although safety policy is the subject of continuous review, on this occasion no immediate changes in working practices are planned.
