Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what lessons were learned for emergency planning in the event of an accident involving the road transport of nuclear warheads from the Operation Senator emergency planning exercise held at HMS Gannet, Prestwick Airport in September 2011.

The Defence Nuclear Safety Regulator (DNSR) assessment concluded that Exercise Senator 2011 achieved its stated objectives.

The DNSR assessment report contains five findings, four of which have been formally closed out. Work is in hand to address the remaining finding.

I shall place copies of the DNSR assessment and All Agency report in the Library of the House.
