Mr. Sproat

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if he will make a full statement on the visit by five Soviet scientists to Dounreay; what consultations there were between the Atomic Energy Authority and his Department on this matter; and whether he himself or others of his Department's Ministers were consulted personally about the propriety of this visit in the light of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.

Mr. David Howell

I have nothing to add to the reply given by my hon. Friend the Under-Secretary of State on 11 February.—[Vol. 978, c. 1038.]
