HC Deb 29 May 1946 vol 423 c204W
97 Mr. Bartlett

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware that only three British journalists as against 187 U.S. Press correspondents and photographers are being invited to witness the atomic bomb tests at Bikini in the Pacific; and whether he will make representations to the State Department in the matter.

Mr. McNeil

The atomic bomb tests are being conducted entirely by the United States Government and my right hon. Friend would not consider it proper for him to intervene in whatever arrangements they decide to make.
