§ 30. Mr. WorthingtonTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a study of possible radioactive contamination at Holy Loch, Faslane, Rosyth and the Firth of Clyde caused by nuclear-powered defence vessels.
§ Mr. YoungerNo. Thorough monitoring of radioactivity in environmental materials and gamma dose rates in air at Holy Loch, Faslane and Rosyth is carried out by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food. The results show that public radiation exposure in these areas is consistently less than 0.1 per cent. of the limit recommended by the international commission on radiological protection. This is equivalent to the radiation which would be received during a return flight in the Glasgow shuttle. The Ministry of Defence carries out its own monitoring of these sites, and the results are consistent with those produced by MAFF.
