Motion Text

That this House notes with concern the security risk posed by the transportation of nuclear waste by train; notes the Greenpeace investigation which revealed that these trains pass through major towns and cities across the United Kingdom, including inner London; expresses alarm that a Daily Mirror journalist was able to gain access to a Brent goods yard to plant a fake explosive on a train carrying radioactive material; and calls on the Government to cease all transport of nuclear waste through Brent until a full investigation has been made and proper security measures installed.
