BNFL AND CRICKLEWOOD

Early day motion 44, tabled 25 November 1998 by Rudi Vis (Labour). Signed by 19 members.

That this House notes with concern the intention by Direct Rail Services, a wholly-owned subsidiary of British Nuclear Fuels plc, to use the operational facilities at Cricklewood in the Finchley and Golders Green constituency for the transport of spent nuclear fuel; notes with equal concern that millions of people in densely populated areas disagree with BNFL's ability to continue using railways and railway sidings for purposes for such transport; and requests the Government to instruct BNFL to circumvent densely populated areas for such transport throughout the United Kingdom.

Signatures by party: Labour 17, Liberal Democrat 2.
