HC Deb 30 June 1995 vol 262 c829W
Mr. Llew Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what details of the Operation Overture committee established to look into the 1957 Windscale fire have been placed in the Public Record Office; and if he will make a statement on the relevance of the findings of Operation Overture for the current safety of facilities used by his Department at Sellafield. [31067]

Mr. Soames

We have been unable to find any record of a committee of that name. The safety of facilities at Sellafield is a matter for the Department of Trade and Industry and the operators of the Sellafield site.
