HC Deb 24 June 1986 vol 100 c93W
Mr. Meadowcroft

asked the Secretary of State for Energy whether he will state the total weight of plutonium exported for civil use since May 1979, and give the amount, by weight exported to each country involved.

Mr. Goodlad

I shall reply to the hon. Member as soon as possible.

Mr. Meadowcroft

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if he will place in the Library copies of all correspondence between himself and the chairman of the Central Electricity Generating Board between January 1983 and May 1986 concerning the use of plutonium produced from civil nuclear power in the United Kingdom; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Goodlad

No. It is not the practice to publish correspondence between Ministers and the chairmen of nationalised industries.
