Contaminated Soil
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what criteria she uses in deciding whether to include upland farms covered by restrictions due to Chernobyl radioactive fall-out in areas to be designated under the revised radioactive land contamination regime.
- Answer
-
I do not intend to provide separate criteria for upland farms in England.Informed by the recent public consultation, I shall decide upon generic criteria to protect human health from land contaminated by radioactivity which is giving rise to lasting radiation exposure resulting from the after effects of a radiological emergency or a past or old practice or work activity.
