HC Deb 16 December 1993 vol 234 cc816-7W
Mr. Chris Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment at what stage Her Majesty's inspectorate of pollution was informed of the revised figures for plutonium emissions from Sellafield prepared by British Nuclear Fuels' corporate environmental adviser; what action Her Majesty's inspectorate of pollution intends to take in the light of these revised figures; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Yeo

Her Majesty's inspectorate of pollution (HMIP) received a copy of the expert evidence prepared by Professor Stephen Jones of BNFL on 9 November 1992. This reassessment of historical discharges has no impact on current operations at Sellafield and HMIP will not be taking any action in the light of this information.
