asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when he expects to receive the report of research commissioned by his Department on radioactive waste management and radioactivity in the environment.

I received the 1984–86 report today. Copies have been placed in the Library of the House.

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment; further to his reply to the hon. Member for South Shields on 2 February, Official Report, column 494, concerning Her Majesty's radiochemical inspectorate, if he will estimate (a) the number of man-years' effort required to undertake the three-year programme of reviewing authorisations of radioactive discharges and (b) the number of man-years' effort required to complete such a review for a typical nuclear site; whether the staffing compliment of the inspectorate was increased by reason of that review programme; and if he will make a statement.
