HC Deb 07 July 1997 vol 297 cc332-3W
Mr. Mitchell

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what representations he has made to the French Government about the levels of radioactive discharges into the English Channel from the French nuclear reprocessing plant at Cap de la Hague. [6396]

No recent representation has been made to the French authorities in respect of radioactive discharges into the English Channel. Monitoring carried out by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food shows that the levels of radioactivity in seafood and other marine organisms from the English Channel are of negligible radiological significance.
