§ Mr. Masonasked the President of the Board of Trade to what extent his Department keeps British industry informed of the various uses of radioisotopes; to what extent industry is using them and being encouraged to do so by his Department; to what extent there is liaison between the Atomic Energy Authority and his Department on the new discoveries in this field and how best they can be used; and whether he will consider conducting a survey of all their industrial uses with a view to issuing a report.
§ Sir D. EcclesThe industrial use of isotopes is widespread and rapidly increasing. My Department cannot usefully add to what the Atomic Energy Authority is already doing, through its Industrial Advisory Service, its Isotope School and its publications, to assist their use in British industry.
