HC Deb 17 December 1992 vol 216 c396W
Mr. Bill Michie

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what account is taken by the emergency off-site plan of each site, designated under the Control of Major Accident Hazards Regulations 1984 because of the quality of chlorine which they store, of the possibility of catastrophic failure of the site's chlorine storage facilities.

Mr. McLoughlin

In preparing off-site emergency plans for all those sites subject to regulation 11 of the Control of Industrial Major Accident Hazards Regulations 1984, as amended, the emergency planners have to take account of the full range of possible events, in accordance with the official guidance published by the Health and Safety Executive—HS(G) 25—"The Control of Industrial Major Accident Hazards Regulations: Further Guidance on Emergency Plans" and HS(R) 21—revised—"A guide to the Control of Industrial Major Accident Hazards Regulations 1984".
