HC Deb 04 November 1958 vol 594 c40W
90. Mr. P. Williams

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether he will make a further statement on the plans to launch a nuclear-powered merchant ship.

Mr. T. G. D. Galbraith

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given by my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister to the hon. Member for Stockton-on-Tees (Mr. Chetwynd) on 1st May last. The suitability for marine propulsion of the reactor systems referred to in that reply is still being evaluated.
