§ Ms WalleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if the civil police provide escorts for type B containers of civil radioactive materials transported by road at the request of the material's owners; and if he will make a statement. [19932]
§ Mr. PageI have been asked to reply.
The civil police do not escort type B containers of radioactive materials transported by road. The UK Atomic Energy Authority constabulary escorts these containers when necessary.
§ Ms WalleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if the owners of radioactive materials in transit are responsible for the cost of civil police escorts; and if he will make a statement. [19933]
§ Mr. PageI have been asked to reply.
The civil police are not involved in the escort of radioactive materials and therefore no costs are incurred.
