Dr. ThomasTo ask the Secretary of State for Energy what were the total annual sales of safeguarded plutonium to the United States of America for each year since the end of December 1982.
§ Mr. Michael SpicerTotal sales of safeguarded plutonium to the United States since the end of December 1982 have amounted to significantly less than one gram. Transfers of plutonium under the fast reactor collaborative programme announced by the UKAEA in 1979 were covered in my reply to the hon. Member on 14 December 1988 at column582.
