§ Mr. Llew SmithTo ask the Prime Minister what matters relating to radioactive releases from Sellafield were discussed with his Norwegian counterpart on 6 July; and what conclusions were reached. [49748]
§ The Prime MinisterDuring our meeting on 6 July, I reassured Prime Minister Bondevik that all discharges of radioactive material from Sellafield into European coastal waters were subject to licensing by the Environment Agency, that present levels were being reviewed and that levels were always set well within the threshold of what might pose a threat to public health. We agreed that our Environment Ministers should discuss the issue when they meet later this year.
