§ Gregory BarkerTo ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what security measures will be enforced to ensure the safe passage of the pending shipment of MOX plutonium via sea from Japan to the United Kingdom; and with whom this responsibility lies. [69134]
§ Mr. WilsonThe Office for Civil Nuclear Security (OCNS) regularly review the potential threats posed to MOX shipments. They are satisfied that the thorough precautions that have been taken to prevent the theft or sabotage of this shipment are adequate. For obvious reasons, the Government is not prepared to give details of the security arrangements in place.
