HC Deb 25 November 1991 vol 199 cc414-5W
Mr. Rogers

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence whether arrangements have been made for environmental clean-up at the naval fuel storage depot at(a) Invergordon and (b) Finnart before their closure.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

It is normal practice for the existence, nature and extent of any contamination to be identified by the MOD prior to the disposal of land. Any decontamination required would either be undertaken by the Department or by the acquiring authority, dependent upon the circumstances of the land disposal.
