HC Deb 06 November 1945 vol 415 cc1212-3W
Mr. Palmer

asked the Minister of Supply and of Aircraft Production if he will set up an expert committee to report on the possibility of utilising atomic energy for the production of electric power.

Mr. Leonard

As announced by the Prime Minister on 21st August last, the industrial applications of atomic energy are included in the terms of reference of the Advisory Committee which has been set up under the chairmanship of my right hon. Friend the Member for the Scottish Universities (Sir J. Anderson). The appointment of a further expert committee is not, therefore, necessary.
