HC Deb 27 March 2001 vol 365 c562W
Miss Geraldine Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will list the(a) hazardous and (b) radioactive material which has been transported through the Morecambe and Lunesdale constituency by road on a regular basis in the last year. [154834]

Mr. Hill

There are no regulatory requirements for transporters to notify movements of dangerous goods by road and therefore my Department does not hold this information.

Information on the movement of radioactive material is not routinely held by this Department. However, I understand from British Nuclear Fuels plc that they have made 17 shipments of new nuclear fuel from their plant at Springfields, Preston, to Heysham Nuclear Power Station, by road, in the last 12 months.
