§ Mr. Symondsasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science, in view of the fact that 160 men have been made redundant at Windscale and Calder Hall, if he will now arrange to build a fast breeder reactor there, because of the successful experiments already carried out at this plant for this type of reactor.
§ Mr. HoggThe Atomic Energy Authority has not yet made proposals to the Government for a prototype fast reactor, but I understand that it is considering the technical, organisational and financial suitability of possible sites. When the time comes for the Government to take a decision on the construction and siting of such a reactor, the claims of all suitable sites will be fully considered.
