Mr. Chaytor: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what research he has commissioned on the health implications of very high
concentrations of technetium in seafood; and if he will make a statement. [115529]
Yvette Cooper: No specific research is currently carried out into the health effect of technetium-99 in seafood as the effects of
ingested radioactivity have been studied for many years. The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food carries out a comprehensive
monitoring programme around the British Isles, which shows the most exposed seafood consumer received only 2 per cent. of the annual
dose limit from exposure to technetium-99.
