HC Deb 08 February 1989 vol 146 c690W
Mr. Martyn Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what is the financial cost attributed to the annual defence budget and paid to the United States Government to implement environmental clean-up at the Nevada test site following the testing of United Kingdom nuclear warheads at the site; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Sainsbury

In the continuing absence of escapes of radioactivity from these underground tests, no such costs arise.
