answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/11/2018 answer text <p>I can confirm that the use of DNA evidence in the three cohorts the Home Secretary spoke about in his statement of 25 October to the House did not involve collection or storage of DNA by Home Office staff. Any DNA evidence submitted would have been in the form of reports from approved DNA testing centres, stating whether familial relationships were evidenced. These reports may have been attached to case files.</p><p>A Taskforce has been established so that anyone who feels that their case may have been influenced in any way by an inappropriate demand for DNA testing can get advice and support. Anyone concerned about these reports being held should contact the Taskforce, who will investigate the circumstances of each case and advise on the options, including deletion of the record from case files where appropriate.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes grouped question UIN 194177 question first answered 29/11/2018 18:20:38 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/04/2014 answer text <p>The most up to date figures for tritium discharges from Royal Naval Armament Depot (RNAD) Coulport are published annually in Radioactivity in Food and the Environment which the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) co-authors. They are also shown in the following table:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Type</p><p> </p></td><td colspan="4"><p>Annual Gaseous Discharges Gigabecuerel (GBq)</p></td><td rowspan="2"><p>Current Rolling 12 Monthly total SEPA Approved Limit (GBq)</p></td><td rowspan="2"><p>MOD Proposed Annual Limits (GBq)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>2009</p></td><td><p>2010</p></td><td><p>2011</p></td><td><p>2012</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Tritium</p></td><td><p>3.400</p></td><td><p>4.510</p></td><td><p>6.050</p></td><td><p>6.950</p></td><td><p>50</p></td><td><p>20</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>These discharges are well within the current limits approved by SEPA. This compares well with tritium gaseous discharges from other sites regulated by SEPA, for example, Hunterston B Nuclear Power Station in 2012 had an annual discharge of 2560 GBq.</p><p> </p><p>Future discharge levels of each type of radioactive discharge from Her Majesty's Naval Base Clyde, which includes the RNAD Coulport, will depend on the specific activities and operations that take place at those sites, but are expected to be well within the annual limits proposed by the Ministry of Defence which are currently under consideration by SEPA.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne grouped question UIN 194177 question first answered 03/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne
