45. Mr. E. Fletcher

asked the Paymaster General, as representing the Lord President of the Council, if the American Atomic Energy Authority has now agreed to exchange information with this country regarding its atomic power station at Shippingport.

The Minister of Supply (Mr. Aubrey Jones)

I have been asked to reply. I have at present nothing to add to the Answer given to the hon. Member on 13th March.

Mr. Fletcher

Would the Minister confirm that it is the policy of Her Majesty's Government to seek a basis of understanding with the United States for a full exchange of information on this subject?

Mr. Jones

Yes, Sir. I gladly give that confirmation. An offer for the exchange of detailed information has been made to the United States, and that offer is now under consideration.
