HC Deb 06 June 1967 vol 747 cc769-70
4. Mr. Evelyn King

asked the Minister of Technology if he is satisfied that sufficient European funds are available to continue research work at Winfrith on the present scale; and if he will make a statement.

Dr. Bray

I assume that the hon. Member refers to the Dragon Project at Winfrith. Sufficient funds are available to support this project until the end of 1967. The signatories of the Dragon agreement are considering further extension up to the end of March, 1970. and the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority has declared its willingness to participate in such an extension.
