Seabed: Bomb Disposal

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, pursuant to the Answers of 13 March 2020 to Questions 26130 and 26131 on Seabed: Bomb Disposal, how much funding has been allocated for the sea trials of deflagration planned for 2020, and what the planned timeframe is for that trial.

Answer

The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has not undertaken a formal assessment of the evidence base for deflagration. The Marine Management Organisation sits on the steering group for a research project on deflagration commissioned by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, and Defra receives regular updates on progress.

A recent project report is available on the UK Offshore Energy Strategic Environmental Assessment pages of the gov.uk website.
