Question: If he will comment on the advice the Nirex Peer Reviewers provided to Nirex in report S96-004 Appendix 3 concerning the report title used in the document submitted to the Review Panel for initial review concerning the use of the word hydrogeological.

Answer: Mr. Matthew Taylor: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement on the advice the Nirex peer reviewers provided to Nirex in report S96-004 appendix 3 concerning the report title used in the document submitted to the review panel for initial review concerning the use of the word hydrogeological. [20996] Mr. Clappison: I understand that the baseline report review group advised Nirex that the use of the word "hydrogeological" in the initial title proposed for the report was too general and therefore gave insufficient guidance as to the content of the report.
