Owen Thompson – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Defence

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Owen Thompson on 2016-03-03.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what guidance is issued under the Radiation (Emergency Preparedness and Public Information) Regulations 2001 to homes along the route of convoys transporting nuclear weapons.

Penny Mordaunt

The Radiation (Emergency Preparedness and Public Information) Regulations 2001 apply to areas, defined in each case by the Office for Nuclear Regulation, surrounding nuclear sites. The regulations do not apply to road transport and therefore no guidance is issued.
