Proceeding contribution from Alan Simpson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 October 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Radioactive Waste Management Report.
Radioactive Waste Management Report
I am somewhat surprised that there has been no mention of the controversy in CoRWM itself. An all-party group of Members met two of the scientists who walked out of CoRWM because they felt that the scientific evidence was not being taken seriously. They could not understand how a view could be taken on risk management without geological, hydrological and climate-change expertise. Will the Secretary of State guarantee that whatever reconstituted body replaces CoRWM, the areas of scientific expertise that are essential to the risk assessment process will be incorporated before we reach the risk management stage?
