§ 46. Mr. Gowerasked the Lord Privy Seal what representations he has received asking for an atomic energy establishment to be set up by the Atomic Energy Authority on a suitable site in Wales; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. R. A. ButlerThe Atomic Energy Authority has in the last few months received a number of suggestions and inquiries about the possibility of siting atomic energy establishments in various parts of Wales. There is, however, at present nothing to add to the information about the Authority's plans which I gave the hon. Member in reply to his Question on 29th February last.
§ Mr. GowerAs there are to be establishments of this kind in England and in Scotland and, indeed, in Northern Ireland, will my right hon. Friend at least say that his mind is not closed to the possibility of one establishment in Wales in the future?
§ Mr. ButlerMy mind is never closed, but I do not like to give false promises.
