HC Deb 02 June 1997 vol 295 c11W
Mr. Llew Smith

To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department if he will arrange for copies to be placed in the Library of all documents deposited in the Public Record Office by the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority concerning the disposal of plutonium contaminated radioactive waste of United Kingdom origin at the Hurd Deep. [1437]

Mr. Hoon

Forty two files have been identified among records transferred by the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority to the Public Record Office which relate to the disposal of radioactive waste at the Hurd Deep. All are open to public inspection, except one which is not yet thirty years old. Arrangements are in hand to make this one item available. The making of copies of this quantity of material for the Library could only be done at disproportionate cost.
