Proceeding contribution from David Miliband (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 not aware of Sedgemoor district council’s approach to the NDA, but it is welcome in the context that I have set out today. It is important to emphasise that the statement is about high-level waste, which raises particular issues of interim and long-term storage. In respect of other procedures, the process that the right hon. Gentleman describes is welcome, but I would like to believe that we are ensuring that the first principle at every stage is public safety, enforced by independent regulators. That is key to the whole process.
