Dounreay Accident And Secrecy

EDM number 950 in 1989-90, proposed by Jimmy Wray on 08/05/1990.

That this House is deeply disturbed by the secrecy which surrounded the leak in one of the secondary sodium circuits at Dounreay on 24th April; deplores this silence which does not seem to have anything to do with the good of the people of Scotland and much to do with the interests of the party in Government in the local elections last 3rd May; firmly asserts the supremacy of the people's right to be informed about any event which can affect their health and safety; and demands that the Government and authorities in the nuclear industry take immediate steps to avoid the repetition of this conspiracy of silence and remember that their primary responsibility is with the people and Parliament.

This motion has been signed by a total of 16 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
