HC Deb 18 October 1991 vol 196 cc288-9W
Mr. Flynn

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make it his policy to offer assistance to the Russian Federation to monitor the extent of radioactive pollution in the Barents and Kara seas arising from the Soviet nuclear-powered fleet.

Mr. Curry

This Department has sophisticated monitoring expertise which we readily provided when the USSR sought assistance with monitoring at Chernobyl. The Government have received no such request for monitoring radioactive pollution in the Barents or Kara seas.
