Proceeding contribution from Lord Rooker (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 25 October 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Energy: Radioactive Waste Management.


Energy: Radioactive Waste Management

My Lords, I will not go down that road. I do not know the details and am going on advice here, but I read out a list of countries where this process appears to work. The evidence is that we ought to be able to find a site—I do not know whether a site or sites will be involved—based on international experience. I fully respect what my noble friend says about what happened under the previous proposals, which is probably why the voluntary route is the only way we can go down now.
