HC Deb 10 April 1989 vol 150 cc365-6W
Mr. Redmond

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will list by location the farmers who have received his Department's leaflet, "Nuclear Accidents and the Farmer"; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Ryder

I refer the hon. Member to the reply that I gave on 20 March 1989 at column472 to the hon. Member for South Shields (Dr. Clark). Our initial distribution was to holdings in England in the vicinity of nuclear power stations operated by the Central Electricity Generating Board, licensed nuclear sites of British Nuclear Fuels plc and the various nuclear facilities run by the Ministry of Defence, the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority and Amersham International plc. Large numbers of copies have also been distributed at meetings held by my officials and in response to individual requests. Distribution has been carried out principally through my Department's regional organisation and no central record has been maintained. Further copies remain available free of charge on request from any of my Department's regional offices.
