To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what the reasons are for rescheduling the nuclear accident planning exercise at AWE Aldermaston from 13 May to 3 June 2009. (276107)

The site exercise at the Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) Aldermaston planned for 13 May 2009 was rescheduled as associated restrictions would have clashed with planned activities elsewhere on the site. The rearranged date of 3 June 2009 was agreed with the regulator, the Nuclear Installations Inspectorate.
