§ Mr. FlynnTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence if any Royal Air Force bases ever receive air freighted consignments of radioactive wastes from British military bases abroad.
§ Mr. SainsburySmall quantities of radioactive waste from British military bases abroad have been returned to the United Kingdom on an ad hoc basis. Most of the consignments have been sent by sea. Some minor items containing very small quantities of radioactive material, for example, instruments luminised with radium, may have been moved by air, but records of such movements, if any, are not held centrally, and therefore the question could be answered only at disproportionate cost.
