HC Deb 06 June 1967 vol 747 cc155-6W
44. Mr. Lubbock

asked the Minister of Technology what is the effect of agreements between Her Majesty's Government and the United States of America on the sharing of information and know-how on nuclear enrichment processes with other European countries.

Mr. Benn

Her Majesty's Government and the U.S. Government have regarded the know-how which they independently possess about the processes for enrichment of uranium as classified information. Any change of policy by Her Majesty's Government in the context of our application to join the European Communities could only be made after consideration of the security and other implications.
