HC Deb 02 March 1995 vol 255 cc717-8W
Mr. Llew Smith

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what plans he has to introduce legislation to provide for the environmental clean up of commonly owned land and water resources following an accident at a nuclear power plant involving radioactivity contamination.

Mr. Atkins

I have been asked to reply.

There are no such plans. The introduction of further legislation to provide for environmental clean-up in the unlikely event of an accident at a nuclear power plant is unnecessary.
