§ Mr. Nigel Griffithsasked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will intervene to halt the practice of British Rail transporting nuclear materials through Morningside in Edinburgh, South constituency to and from Torness.
§ Mr. David MitchellThe regulations which control the transport of radioactive materials require full protection to be built into the design of the containers so that the materials do not present a danger, even in the event of a severe accident. The choice of routes used is not therefore dependent on safety considerations.
