§ Mr. RedmondTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list the(a) airports and (b) seaports that are used to transport (i) plutonium and (ii) other radioactive material to Europe and Japan.
§ Mr. McLoughlinThere are over half a million movements of radioactive material per annum. The Department does not collect information on a routine basis on the ports and airports used to export such material to Europe and Japan. In the particular case of plutoniums, I am advised that during the last year the only exports, in greater than gramme quantities, have been to Europe and have been made via Carlisle airport.
