Managing Radioactive Waste Safely

A Framework for Implementing Geological Disposal

By: Great Britain. Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs,Great Britain, Dept. for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs Staff

Published as part of the managing radioactive waste safely (MRWS) programme, this white paper sets out the UK Government's framework for managing higher activity radioactive waste in the long-term through geological disposal, coupled with safe and secure interim storage and ongoing research and development to support its optimised implementation. It also invites communities to express an interest in opening up, without commitment, discussions with Government on the possibility of hosting a geological disposal facility at some point in the future. In June 2007 the Government published a MRWS consultation document in conjunction with the devolved administrations for Wales and Northern Ireland. Responses to this consultation have been taken into consideration in the development of this white paper. The paper sets out the framework for the future implementation of geological disposal that includes: the approach to compiling and updating the UK Radioactive Waste Inventory (UKRWI) and using it as a basis for discussion with potential host communities; the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority's technical approach for developing a geological disposal facility, including the use of a staged implementation approach and ongoing research and development to support delivery. The white paper covers the amount of waste for disposal; preparation and planning for geological disposal; protecting people and the environment: regulation, planning and independent scrutiny; site selection using a voluntarism and partnership approach; the site assessment process; timing and next steps.

Annual report of the Committee 2002

second report of session 2002-03

By: Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee

The Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) was created in June 2001, by the merger of a number of government departments. It co-ordinates and implements policies relating to sustainable development, food and farming, air, water, land and rural communities. This is the annual report of the Select Committee set up to oversee the work of DEFRA and its associated bodies during the 2002. The report notes that the Committee's ability to carry out financial oversight of DEFRA was undermined by the way in which financial data was set out in the Department's 2002 annual report (Cm. 5422, ISBN 0101542224). It recommends that future annual reports should include an analysis of DEFRA's performance against each of its Public Service Agreement (PSA) targets.

HC 443 - Defra performance in 2014-15

By: Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee

Defra's budget for day-to-day spending is to be cut by 15% over the next four years. This will be difficult to achieve since total budget reductions of about a quarter during the last Parliament have already identified easily achievable savings and removed the more obvious inefficiencies across the Defra family. Defra is one of the smaller government departments, with Exchequer funding of just over £2 billion, but it performs vital functions. We endorse the Defra Secretary of State's vision for a world-class food and farming sector, a robust rural economy and an enhanced natural environment. Managing environmental and rural economy issues together can help deliver that vision but this, together with meeting the challenges of protecting the UK from natural hazards, requires adequate resources. Protecting the nation against, for example, flood and animal or plant diseases carries multi-million pound costs; the costs to the economy, society and the environment of not doing so may, however, be even greater. The challenges facing Defra are first whether the reduced budget available to it is sufficient for its task, and second how to make the correct policy choices so as to allocate smaller funds effectively.

Food Information

Seventh Report of Session 2004-2005: Report, Together with Formal Minutes, Oral and Written Evidence

By: Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee

The Committee's report examines a range of issues regarding the provision of information about the nutritional contents of foods to consumers by food producers and retailers, by Government and others sources. Issues discussed include the division of responsibilities for food information policy within government; food safety and hygiene matters; food labelling for prepacked and non-prepacked foods; food assurance schemes; legal controls on consumer information; and public education about food nutrition. The Committee's findings include that food information policy encompasses regulatory matters, public health initiatives, education within schools, and advertising issues, with responsibility for these areas currently divided between at least six different government departments and agencies. The report recommends that the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs should be given lead responsibility for co-ordinating food information policy across both central and local government, as well as for representing the UK position at EU level. Support is given for the introduction of a UK-wide system of nutrition signposting to assist consumers in making healthier food choices 'at a glance'.
