§ Mr. FlynnTo ask the Secretary of State for Energy, pursuant to the oral answer of 4 February by the Minister for Defence Procurement,Official Report, column 119, how much extra funding Her Majesty's Government will make available for nuclear safeguards inspection under the nuclear non-proliferation treaty provisions.
§ Mr. Heathcoat-AmoryNegotiations on safeguards agreements between the International Atomic Energy Agency and the former republics of the Soviet Union have not yet begun, and provision for safeguards has not been made in the agency's budget. IAEA activities in Iraq are funded by the special commission. The needs of the safeguards system will naturally occupy a central part of the discussions on the agency's budget.
