HC Deb 13 July 1954 vol 530 c15W
60. Mr. Willey

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Works, as representing the Lord President of the Council, what progress has been made regarding the establishment of the European Organisation for Nuclear Research.

Mr. Bevins

The setting up of the permanent Organisation for Nuclear Research requires the deposit of a specified number of ratifications of the Convention which was signed in Paris on 1st July, 1953. A few ratifications have still to be deposited before the Convention can come into force. Meanwhile, the interim organisation is proceeding with designing and other preparatory work.
