Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether his Department plans to put in place a monitoring framework following the completion of the remediation works at Dalgety Bay.

Ministry of Defence Officials will continue monitoring the beach at Dalgety Bay for two years after completion of the remediation works. This has been agreed with the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) in order to prove the success of the works. SEPA will take on monitoring after the ‘proving’ period is successfully completed.
