HC Deb 17 February 1988 vol 127 c666W
43. Mr. Campbell-Savours

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he has yet been informed by Nirex as to when he can expect a copy of its proposals for the disposal of intermediate nuclear waste; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Roe

My right hon. Friend expects UK Nirex Ltd. to submit its proposals for a deep dual-purpose disposal facility for low-level and intermediate-level radioactive waste within a year, after careful consideration has been given to the response to the discussion document "The Way Forward" and to other technical factors.
