HC Deb 20 June 1989 vol 155 c95W
Mr. Blair

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy what are the existing minimum emergency planning zones around nuclear installations; and if he has any plans to alter them.

Mr. Parkinson

The minimum emergency planning zones around nuclear installations within which detailed and pre-planned arrangements are required to ensure rapid evacuation vary from 1km and 2.4km depending on the type of installation. There are no plans to alter these minimum emergency planning zones. These arrangements also provide the basis for extending the response if required.
