§ 27. Lieut.-Colonel Liptonasked the Minister of Works how many agents of the American Federal Bureau of Investigation are employed in British atomic establishments; and on what duties they are engaged.
§ Lieut-Colonel LiptonWhilst welcoming the Minister's assurance that these arrangements are not being pursued, may I ask whether he can confirm that the United States Government have no longer any doubts about the adequacy of our security arrangements which prevent the fullest exchange of information between the United States Government and this country?
§ Mr. BirchAs the hon. and gallant Member knows, the Atomic Energy Authority denied 10 days ago that there was any truth in the story. There is no truth in it. We have, of course, discussed questions of procedure with regard to security, and, as far as I know, the Americans are quite satisfied.
