Can I thank David Rowlands and his Petitions Committee for the diligence with which they've worked and produced this report? I'm also grateful to Tim Deere-Jones, who took the trouble to meet with me and brief me on the campaign.

Consequently, radioactivity has been found to be so low it equates to not radioactive in law—all these by robust internationally accepted methodologies.

Now, if we do have a wider problem—
