TRANSPORT OF NUCLEAR WASTE

Tabled by Baroness Teather (Liberal Democrat) 34 signatures

The motion

That this House notes with concern the security risk posed by the transportation of nuclear waste by train; notes the Greenpeace investigation which revealed that these trains pass through major towns and cities across the United Kingdom, including inner London; expresses alarm that a Daily Mirror journalist was able to gain access to a Brent goods yard to plant a fake explosive on a train carrying radioactive material; and calls on the Government to cease all transport of nuclear waste through Brent until a full investigation has been made and proper security measures installed.
