HC Deb 30 October 1992 vol 212 c945W
Mr. Dafis

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many delegations, including representatives from her Department, have visited the areas worst affected by the Chernobyl disaster to date.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

During the course of two studies funded by Her Majesty's Government's know-how fund, company representatives have paid nine visits to the affected areas during 1992. The studies aim to monitor the effects of the Chernobyl disaster on food production and distribution in Ukraine, to determine radiation measures, and to develop a strategy to rehabilitate the areas affected. The chargé d' affaires at the British embassy in Kiev visited Chernobyl earlier this year.
