To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment when he will be meeting members of the Radioactive Waste Management Advisory Committee.
I am meeting members of the Radioactive Waste Management Advisory Committee today following the inaugural meeting of the reconstituted committee. I have asked members of the new committee to look at the three particular subjects. First, I have asked them to review the radioactive waste disposal issues which are likely to arise over the next 20 years. Secondly, I have asked them to review the overall national radiation monitoring programme following the installation of phase 2 of the radioactive incident monitoring network and to make recommendations. Thirdly, I have asked them to consider and advise on the extent and nature of the Department's radioactive substances research pro-gramme.The members of the reconstituted committee are:
