How can you call yourself the Cabinet Secretary for the environment when your Government has issued a licence to let material be dredged from outside Hinkley Point nuclear reactor and be dumped in Welsh waters just outside Cardiff? What’s worse is that an environmental impact assessment was not carried out by Wales’s environmental watchdog. No dose of radiation is acceptable for human health. So, it beggars belief that you would allow material from a nuclear—nuclear—site to be dumped in Welsh waters. So, why are you taking this huge risk? And will you now revoke the licence until a full and proper study of the potentially radioactive material has been carried out by Natural Resources Wales?
