§ Mr. WigleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will undertake a survey of the waters in Cardigan bay 981W and the Irish sea to identify unexploded bombs; and if he will make a statement. [12490]
§ Mr. SoamesI have been asked to reply.
If left undisturbed, munitions on the sea bed present no significant risk to human health or to the marine environment. Accordingly, my Department has no plans to survey Cardigan bay or the Irish sea to identify munitions.
