Mr. Llew Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statment on the findings of(a) the marine environmental radioactivity survey of Gibraltar, DRPS report 12/92, (b) the marine environmental radioactivity survey of Hong Kong, DRPS report 3/92, (c) the marine environmental radioactivity survey of Bermuda, DRPS report 10/92 and (d) the marine environmental radioactivity survey of Diego Garcia DRPS report 11/92.

Mr. Hanley

The reports referred to are part of a routine programme of environmental radioactivity surveys which is carried out by the Defence Radiological Protection Service around all berths in the United Kingdom and dependent territories that are used by nuclear powered warships. In each case, the findings demonstrate that there has been no radiological hazard to any member of the public as a result of nuclear powered warship operation.
