Part of 1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Environment and Rural Affairs – in the Senedd at 2:13 pm on 14 December 2016.
Cabinet Secretary, this was an industrial accident, it was unforeseen, it was unintended, and I also look forward to the report. I would like to commend both Valero and NRW for the very speedy way in which they dealt with this. I would like us all to reserve judgment. Valero are a very strong company in my constituency who do have an environmental record that is worth noting is extremely good. What I’m very interested to know, Cabinet Secretary, is what lessons might be learned for what else may be happening in that pipeline as it proceeds through Wales. Are there any other ways that we might be able to monitor that pipeline to ensure that the oil spill that Adam Price refers to doesn’t actually happen elsewhere?
