Mr. Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to his answer of 2 April,Official Report, column 95, when he expects to have an estimate of the decommissioning costs of Atomic Weapons Establishment, Llanishen, Cardiff, and for how long the site will require sterilisation before any after-use. [25193]

Mr. Arbuthnot

An estimate of the decommissioning costs of the atomic weapons establishment, Llanishen, Cardiff was made in 1994. It was taken into account in reaching the decision to close the factory. A period of sterilisation will not be required once the work of decontaminating the site has been completed in accordance with the requirements of the local authority.
