§ Mr. MeacherTo ask the President of the Board of Trade what data his Department collates in respect of the environmental monitoring conducted by the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority of employees at Dounreay following reportable radiological incidents; and if(a) current and (b) former UKAEA staff are covered by the Official Secrets Act 1911 in respect of such incidents. [11914]
§ Mr. PageThese data are not collated by my Department. Under the Ionising Radiations Regulations 1985 the UKAEA is responsible for monitoring the radiation doses received by its employees. The data are then collated by the Health and Safety Executive.
761WInformation on radiation doses would be covered by The Official Secrets Act only if there were clear national security implications.
