HC Deb 18 May 1999 vol 331 c288W
Ms Perham

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what arrangements have been made with the police and local authorities for dealing with an overseas nuclear accident over the millennium period. [84255]

Mr. Meale

Arrangements for dealing with the consequences for the UK of an overseas nuclear accident are set out in the National Response Plan, copies of which are held in the House Library. These can be activated at any time.

There is therefore no need for arrangements to be made with any of the relevant bodies who would be involved in the response to such an accident over the millennium period.
