HC Deb 17 April 1996 vol 275 cc525-6W
23. Mr. Illsley

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what representation he has received regarding refuelling problems at the Heysham 2 nuclear power station; and if he will make a statement. [23941]

Mr. Eggar

This event, which involved the automatic shutdown of one of the two reactors at Heysham 2 on 29 January, was raised in the House by the hon. Member for Clackmannan (Mr. O'Neill) and other hon. Members during the debate on nuclear privatisation of 26 March. I have received no other representations on this subject. There was no danger from the event and it was not a matter that needed to be reported to Ministers under incident reporting criteria. However, Nuclear Electric has kept my Department informed about the event and the on-going investigation into its cause.

Letter from Richard Tilt to Mr. Max Madden, dated 17 April 1996. The Home Secretary has asked me to reply to your recent Question about the entitlements of Immigration Act detainees at Rochester and Haslar prisons, and at Campsfield House immigration detention centre. The information provided about Campsfield House, which is not a Prison Service establishment, has been supplied by the Immigration Service. The information requested is set out in the attached table.
