HC Deb 23 May 1957 vol 570 cc92-3W
54. Mr. Chetwynd

asked the Prime Minister whether he will arrange for the production of a film and exhibition of our achievements in the field of atomic energy for peaceful purposes; and if he will send them on a world tour.

The Prime Minister:

The film "Atomic Achievement" about the building of Calder Hall has been distributed in seventy-four territories and twelve foreign languages, and two other films about the peaceful uses of atomic energy in this country have been distributed overseas since 1955. In the same period, we have had exhibitions in seventeen countries and more are in preparation.

Action on these lines is more effective than a world-wide tour of one exhibition, which would vary in its appeal to different audiences, and which would tend to be out-of-date before it had completed its tour.

Forward to
