§ Mr. WigleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales (1) whether his Department has received any correspondence from the Friends of the Earth's radiation monitoring unit about post-Chernobyl contamination in north Wales; and if he will make a statement.
(2) whether his Department will review its sheep monitoring programme in the derestricted area between Bala and Lake Vyrnwy.
§ Mr. GristNo correspondence has been received by the Department from the Friends of the Earth's radiation monitoring unit about its recent report about post-Chernobyl contamination in north Wales.
The area between Bala and Lake Vyrnwy referred to in the report was derestricted in 1986 and monitoring then and subsequently has shown that radiation levels in sheep are well within the action level of 1,000 bq/kg.
