§ Mr. MossTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how he proposes to ensure that sub-seabed burial of low and medium level nuclear waste will conform with recent resolutions of the contracting parties to the London dumping convention; whether it would require London dumping convention approval; and what assessment he has made as to whether it would involve levels of technology as yet untried and untested for that purpose.
§ Mr. MoynihanThere are no current proposals to bury low-level or intermediate-level radioactive waste under the sea-bed. Any future proposals would, of course, have to satisfy all national and international safety requirements.
