HC Deb 13 June 2000 vol 351 c596W
Dr. George Turner

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will publish figures for the United Kingdom's stocks of civil plutonium and uranium as at 31 December 1999. [126232]

Mrs. Liddell

I have today placed in the Libraries of the House figures for the United Kingdom showing national holdings of civil plutonium and uranium as at 31 December 1999. In accordance with our commitment under the "Guidance for the Management of Plutonium", I have today sent a copy of the figures to the Director-General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, who will be circulating it to member states in due course.
