HC Deb 14 April 1994 vol 241 c243W
Mr. Llew Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make it his policy at the next European Transport Council to press for the admission to the standing working group on the transport of radioactive materials of non-governmental organisations as observers.

Mr. Norris

No. The standing working group, set up at the request of the European Parliament in 1982 and administered by the Directorate-General for Energy—DG XVII—already has the power to invite non-governmental representatives to its meetings.
