Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what estimate he has made of the amount of nuclear waste transported from the UK to Russia in each of the last five years.

There have been no shipments or other transports of nuclear waste from the UK to Russia in the last five years.

The Government’s policy is to not allow the export of radioactive waste, except for treatment or processing, under the presumption it will be returned to the UK.
