Lieut.-Colonel J. R. L. Hutchisonasked the Prime Minister whether the agreement on atomic energy with the U.S.A. will automatically make available to this country the results of the New York Central Railroad Company's experiment with an atomically-energised engine.
§ The Prime MinisterI have no information about the nature of the experiment to which the hon. and gallant Member refers which would enable me to judge whether its results are likely to fall within the categories of information, the exchange of which is contemplated under the declaration issued at Washington. I am, however, advised that it is most unlikely that any locomotive could at the present time be driven by atomic energy.
