HC Deb 13 March 1957 vol 566 cc1135-6

asked the Paymaster-General, as representing the Lord President of the Council, if he will arrange for the fullest exchange of technical information between this country and the United States of America with regard to the Calder Hall atomic power station and the American power station at Shipping-port, respectively.

Mr. Maudling

This is provided for within the framework of the Anglo-American Agreement.
