§ 70. Sir R. Glynasked the Parliamentary Secretary for Science what progress has so far been made with the Dragon project at Winfrith Heath in Dorset.
§ Mr. FreethMy hon. Friend will be aware that the Dragon project is managed by an international board, the United Kingdom representatives on which are appointed by the Atomic Energy Authority. According to the Board's Report for the year ending 31st March, 1960, good progress had been made in the assembly of staff, the first contracts for equipment had been placed and a start made on the construction of the experimental power-producing high temperature gas-cooled reactor. I understand that satisfactory progress continues.
