§ Mr. CousinsTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how many man years of inspection were devoted to the task of supervising and monitoring licensed radioactive waste disposal sites by Her Majesty's Government's inspectorate of pollution in each of the last five years.
§ Mr. TrippierThe information is not available in the form requested. Available information on the inspection effort devoted to premises regulated under the Radioactive Substances Act 1960 by Her Majesty's inspectorate of pollution and prior to that by Her Majesty's radiochemical inspectorate in the past five years is contained in the Department's management information system returns MINIS 6–10 available in the Library of the House. The MINIS 11 report covering 1989–90 will be placed in the Library in due course.
§ Mr. CousinsTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list the licence holders and sites licensed for radioactive waste disposal under the Radioactive Substances Act 1960, together with the date the licence was issued and the term it has to run.
§ Mr. TrippierI refer the hon. Member to the Department's "List of Premises in England and Wales currently authorised under the Radioactive Substances Act 1960 (RSA60) to dispose of radioactive waste" a copy of which is in the Library of the House. It is not normal practice for authorisations under RSA60 to have a 567W termination date although all are subject to periodic review. Information relating to the date of issue of each authorisation can be provided only at disproportionate cost.
