§ Mr. RedmondTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will make a statement as to how the clothing of a German visitor to the nuclear power station in Dounreay in March became radioactive; what was the cause of this incident; what was the cost of supplying alternative clothing; and on how many other occasions this has occurred.
§ Mr. Michael ForsythThere was no such incident in March 1994. An incident was reported on 25 September 1985; a radiation monitor detected contamination on the clothing of a German visitor; this had resulted from spillage of radio-iodine in the visitor's workplace in Germany. This incident was fully reported at the time.
