Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many Control of Major Accident Hazard sites are there within Cambridgeshire; and in which year was each designated as such.
The following 8 Control of Major Accident Hazard (COMAH) sites lie within the local authority area Cambridgeshire County Council.
COMAH sites are split into either the 'Upper Tier' or 'Lower Tier' COMAH regime, which is dependent on the quantities of material the site processes. Upper Tier sites are those facilities that store, handle, or process significant quantities of hazardous substances, such as oil refiners including Buncefield.
