HC Deb 25 May 1994 vol 244 c208W
Mr. Llew Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland whether section 6.4 in the appendix to his departmental guidance note on integrated pollution control, Scotland, applies to military nuclear activities at the Chapelcross nuclear site operated by British Nuclear Fuels.

Sir Hector Monro

[holding answer 24 May 1994]: No uranium processes, prescribed for authorisation under integrated pollution control, are carried on at the Chapelcross nuclear site. Further, for any site subject to a nuclear site licence made under the Nuclear Installations Act 1965, any such processes are exempted from authorisation by virtue of the terms of section 6(4). Thus for both reasons the section does not apply to any activities carried on at the site.
