§ Mr. Gareth WardellTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will place in the Library a detailed list on an annual basis since 1962 of the number of incendiary devices that have been detonated by the Royal Navy on the marshes of North Gower; and if he will indicate the likely date when all such devices will have been removed.
§ Mr. Archie HamiltonRecords of items cleared from the North Gower marshes are available only for the past two years. In 1990, 99 and in 1991, 130 devices were disposed of. It is not possible to forecast when all such devices will have been removed as the exposure of unexploded ordnance is dependant upon tidal movements.
